Section 32:33-4 - Selection of commissionersThe commission shall be selected as follows:
a. As each state becomes a compacting state, one resident shall be appointed as commissioner. The commissioner shall be selected by the governor of the compacting state, being designated from the state agency charged with regulating industrialized/modular buildings or, if a state agency does not exist, being designated from among those building officials with the most appropriate responsibilities in the state. The commissioner may designate another official as an alternate to act on behalf of the commissioner at commission meetings which the commissioner is unable to attend.b. Each state commissioner shall be appointed, suspended, or removed and shall serve subject to and in accordance with the laws of the state which the commissioner represents; and each vacancy occurring shall be filled in accordance with the laws of the state wherein the vacancy exists.c. When three state commissioners have been appointed in the manner described, those state commissioners shall select one additional commissioner who shall be a representative of manufacturers of industrial- or commercial-use industrialized/modular buildings. When six state commissioners have been appointed in the manner described, the state commissioners shall select a second additional commissioner who shall be a representative of consumers of industrialized/modular buildings. With each addition of three state commissioners, the state commissioners shall appoint one additional representative commissioner, alternating between a representative of manufacturers of industrialized/modular buildings and consumers of industrialized/modular buildings. The ratio between state commissioners and representative commissioners shall be three to one.d. In the event states withdraw from the compact or, for any other reason, the number of state commissioners is reduced, the state commissioners shall remove the last added representative commissioner as necessary to maintain a ratio of state commissioners to representative commissioners of three to one.e. Upon a majority vote of the state commissioners, the state commissioners may remove, fill a vacancy created by, or replace any representative commissioner, provided that any replacement is made from the same representative group and a three to one ratio is maintained. Unless provided otherwise, the representative commissioners shall have the same authority and responsibility as the state commissioners.f. In addition, the commission may have as a member one commissioner representing the United States government if federal law authorizes such representation. This commissioner shall not vote on matters before the commission. The commissioner shall be appointed by the President of the United States, or in another manner as may be provided by Congress.
