(e) (Advisory Councils. ) The [Board] Governor shall
appoint a State advisory council and the Board shall ap-
point local advisory councils, composed in each case of an
equal number of employer representatives and employee
representatives who may be fairly regarded as repre-
sentative because of their vocation, employment, or
affiliations, and of such members representing the general
public as the Board may designate. Such councils shall aid
the Board in formulating policies and discussing problems
related to the administration of this Article and in assur-
ing impartiality and freedom from political influence in
the solution of such problems. Such advisory councils shall
serve without compensation, but shall be reimbursed for
any necessary expenses. The indefinite terms of the mem-
bers of the State advisory council who are in office on June
1, 1953 shall be terminated as of that time. Immediately
thereafter and as of June 1, 1953, the Governor shall ap-
point to the State advisory council all members thereof
who held such positions immediately prior to June 1, 1953.
In making such reappointments, the Governor shall de-
signate them, respectively, for periods ranging from one
to six years if there are then six members of the State ad-
visory council. If there are fewer than six members of the
State advisory council eligible for reappointment under the
provisions of this sub-section, the Governor shall appoint
them for respective terms of from one year to a number
of years equal to the number of persons so to be appointed.
Thereafter, as each such stated term expires, the Gover-
nor shall appoint a person to a new term of six years. Noth-
ing in this sub-section shall be construed to prohibit the
reappointment to the State advisory council of any person
who has already served thereon.
