      Sec. 38a-840. (Formerly Sec. 38-277). Board of directors. Selection. Reimbursement for expenses. (1) The board of directors of said association shall consist of not less than five nor more than nine persons serving terms as established in the plan of operation under section 38a-842. The members of the board of directors shall be selected by member insurers subject to the approval of the commissioner. Vacancies on the board shall be filled for the remaining period of the term by a majority vote of the remaining members, subject to the approval of the commissioner. If no members are selected within sixty days after October 1, 1971, the commissioner may appoint the initial members of the board of directors.

      (2) In approving selections to said board, the commissioner shall consider among other things whether all member insurers are fairly represented.

      (3) Members of said board shall receive no compensation as such but shall be reimbursed from the assets of said association for actual and necessary expenses incurred by them in carrying out their official duties as members of the board of directors.

      (1971, P.A. 466, S. 5; P.A. 81-83, S. 2.)

      History: P.A. 81-83 required that vacancies on the board be filled by majority vote of remaining members rather than "in the same manner as initial appointments" under Subsec. (1); Sec. 38-277 transferred to Sec. 38a-840 in 1991.
