49er is pretty good at cuttin and pastin references. The rest? Not so good.
You should be able to provide a reference if it's a law or reg. It adds credibility. Just sayin.
Thanks Dan.
Here's some credible evidence of laws appying to other boards I found as examples that the legislature knows how to authorize "reappointments" if it chooses to:
Section 11-50-342
Qualifications, appointment, terms of office, compensation, and removal of members of board; oath and bond thereof; vacancies; election of officers; quorum.
... The successor of any member of the board shall be appointed for a term of six years, but any person appointed to fill a vacancy shall be appointed to serve only for the unexpired term, and a member of the board shall be eligible for reappointment.
Section 16-53-3
Board of trustees - Created; membership, eligibility, etc.
... Beginning in 2006, the terms of the trustees shall be six years, with the exceptions noted below, and no trustee may serve more than two terms except that trustees serving in 2006 are eligible for appointment to one additional term regardless of the previous number of terms served.
Section 16-33C-4.1
Composition of PACT board.
(b) Members shall serve for terms of office of four years and shall be eligible for reappointment, and shall serve until a successor is appointed. Any person appointed to fill a vacancy on the PACT board shall be appointed in a like manner and shall serve for only the unexpired term.
Section 16-60-195
Advisory councils.
... The members of the councils shall serve for terms of one year and shall be eligible for reappointment.
Section 16-60-335
Board of trustees - Role in administration and governance; composition; terms; operation.
(c) As terms of members of the board of trustees expire, the board shall recommend to the Chancellor, for appointment by the Alabama State Board of Education, qualified persons for appointment or reappointment to the board.
Section 16-7-2
Membership; appointment; terms; vacancies; per diem and expenses.
... One of the two new commissioners shall be appointed originally for a term of eight years and the other for a term of six years. The successors of all commissioners shall be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for a term of 10 years. Commissioners shall be eligible for reappointment.
(emphasis added)
There are plenty more examples in the
Code of Alabama. I just got tired of posting them.
