Section 36-9-9 - Terms of office of board members--Appointment. - South Dakota Statutes

36-9-9. Terms of office of board members--Appointment. The term of office for the members of the Board of Nursing is three years and expires on July first. Each member shall serve until a successor has been appointed and qualified. No member may be appointed to more than three consecutive full terms. However, appointment of a person to an unexpired term is not considered a full term for this purpose.
At the expiration of a term, or if a vacancy occurs, the Governor shall appoint a new board member. 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 four-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.
