Section 36-6A-4 - Terms of office on board--Vacancies. - South Dakota Statutes

36-6A-4. Terms of office on board--Vacancies. No member of the board may serve more than three consecutive full terms. However, appointment of a person to an unexpired term is not considered a full term for this purpose. The Governor shall make appointments to the board for terms of three years. Each member shall hold office until a successor is appointed and qualified. The Governor shall, by appointment, fill any vacancy for the balance of the unexpired term. The Governor may stagger terms to enable the board to have different terms expire each year. Any member appointed to the board prior to July 1, 2005, shall serve the five-year term to which the member was originally appointed. Any member appointed to the board after July 1, 2005, shall serve a three-year term.
