Sec. 10. (a) The five (5) residents of Indiana who shall serve as members of the commission representing the state of Indiana are as follows: (1) The governor or the governor's designee. The term of the governor or the governor's designee is the same as the governor's term of office. (2) One (1) member of the house of representatives appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives for a two (2) year term. A vacancy occurs if an appointee under this subdivision ceases to be a member of the house of representatives. (3) One (1) member of the senate appointed by the president pro tempore of the senate for a two (2) year term. A vacancy occurs if an appointee under this subdivision ceases to be a member of the senate. (4) Two (2) persons from the field of higher education appointed by the governor as at-large members for a term of four (4) years. A vacancy occurs if an appointee under this subdivision leaves the field of higher education. (b) A member serves at the pleasure of the appointing authority and may be removed for any reason. (c) A member serves until the expiration of the member's term or the appointing authority appoints a successor, whichever is later. However, this subsection does not apply if the vacancy occurs because a member ceases to be the governor or a member of the general assembly. (d) The appointing authority shall fill a vacancy for the remainder of the term of the vacating member.
