290.553 Michigan bean commission; creation; appointment, qualifications, and terms of members; ex officio members; reapportionment.
Sec. 3.
(1) The Michigan bean commission of 9 voting members is created, consisting of a grower from each district created under section 2 and 1 processor shipper handler member under section 4(2). The director and the dean of the college of agriculture of Michigan state university, or their designees, are ex officio members without vote. An appointed member shall be of legal voting age in this state and shall be a citizen and resident of this state. Commission members, except for the processor member, shall be or shall have been engaged in the actual growing or producing of beans within the state.
(2) The terms of office of members of the commission shall be 3 years after the date of appointment or until their successors are appointed and qualified.
(3) Not less than 5 years after June 29, 1989 and every 5 calendar years after that date, the commission may, with the advice and consent of the director and the commission of agriculture, reapportion the districts described in section 2. Reapportionment of the districts shall be on the basis of 1 or more counties with the amount of planted dry bean acreage being as nearly equal as possible between districts except that if 1 county constitutes greater than 20% of the total bean production within the state, then that county may be divided into 2 or more relatively equal districts.
(4) After the reapportionment described in subsection (3), if the residence of a member of the commission falls outside of the district for which he or she serves on the commission and falls within the district for which another member serves on the commission, then both members shall continue to serve on the commission for a term equal to the remaining term of the member who served for the longest period of time. If after the reapportionment described in subsection (3) a district is created in which no member serving on the commission resides, then a member shall be selected in a manner described in section 4(2).
