36-16-3. State Electrical Commission--Number and terms of members.
The State Electrical Commission shall perform all functions exercised by the former State Electrical Board. The State Electrical Commission consists of seven members to be appointed by the Governor for a term of three years. No member may serve more than three consecutive full terms. However, appointment to fill an unexpired term is not considered a complete term for this purpose. Not all of the members shall be of the same political party. The Governor may stagger the terms to enable the commission to have different terms expire each year. Any member appointed to the commission prior to July1, 2005, shall serve the four-year term to which the member was originally appointed. Any member appointed to the commission after July1, 2005, shall serve a three-year term. One member shall represent an electric utility, one member shall be a licensed electrical contractor, one member shall be a licensed electrician with at least a journeyman level license and one member shall have fire safety expertise.
