770                                  Laws of Maryland                         [Ch. 460

Any two members of the Board of Appeals shall constitute a
quorum. No vacancy shall impair the right of the remaining mem-
bers to exercise the powers conferred upon the Board of Appeals
under the provisions of this Article.

11. (e) ADVISORY COUNCILS

The Governor shall appoint a State Advisory Council and the
[Board] Executive Director shall appoint local advisory councils,
composed in each case of an equal number of employer representa-
tives and employee representatives who may be fairly regarded as
representative because of their vocation, employment, or affiliations,
and of such members representing the general public as the
[Board] Executive Director may designate. Such councils shall aid
the [Board] Executive Director in formulating policies and discus-
sing problems related to the administration of this article and in as-
suring impartiality and freedom from political influence in the solu-
tion of such problems. Such advisory councils as are appointed by
the Executive Director shall serve without compensation, but shall
be reimbursed for any necessary expenses. Such advisory councils as
are appointed by the Governor shall receive a per diem allowance
of thirty dollars ($30.00) for each day not to exceed $1,000 per year
in which the council is in session, plus hotel and necessary travel ex-
penses. As the terms of the present members of the State advisory
council terminate, the Governor shall appoint a person to a term of
six years. Any vacancy occurring during a term shall be filled by the
Governor for the unexpired portion of the term. Nothing in this sub-
section, however, shall be construed to prohibit the reappointment to
the State advisory council of any person who has already served
thereon. THE INDEFINITE TERMS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
STATE ADVISORY COUNCIL WHO ARE IN OFFICE ON JUNE
1, 1953, SHALL BE TERMINATED AS OF THAT TIME. [Imme-
diately thereafter and as of June 1, 1953, the Governor shall appoint
to the State advisory council all members thereof who held such
positions immediately prior to June 1, 1953. In making such re-
appointments, the Governor shall designate them, respectively, for
periods ranging from one to six years if there are then six members
of the State advisory council. If there are fewer than six members of
the State advisory council eligible for reappointment under the pro-
visions 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 Governor shall appoint a person to a new term of
six years. Nothing in this sub-section shall be construed to prohibit
the reappointment to the State advisory council of any person who
has already served thereon.]

14. (c) JUDICIAL REVIEW

Within twenty days after the entry of any order of the Board of
Appeals as provided in sub-section (a) or (b) OF this section, or as
provided in Section 7. (d) of this Act, any aggrieved employer may
secure a judicial review of the action of the Board of Appeals by ap-
peal to the superior court of Baltimore City, or to the Circuit Court
of the County in which the employer does business, as the case may
be, in which appeal the Board of Appeals shall be made a defendant.
In such appeal, a petition, which need not be verified but which shall
state the grounds upon which a review is sought, shall be served
