The Secretary of Natural Resources may, in his discretion, create

Resources. The Advisory Board shall be of such size as determined
by the Secretary, and the members shall be representative of the
different professional areas or fields of endeavor with which the
Department of Natural Resources is concerned.

The State Board of Natural Resources is hereby abolished. When-
ever there are references to the Board of Natural Resources or Chair-
man of the Board of Natural Resources in this Code, or in any other
laws, ordinances, resolutions, regulations or directives, they shall be
deemed to mean the Secretary of Natural Resources unless, however,
such construction would be unreasonable. From and after July 1,
1969, all rights, powers, duties, obligations and functions heretofore
conferred upon the Board of Natural Resources or the Chairman of
the Board of Natural Resources shall be transferred to and be exer-
cised and performed by the Secretary of Natural Resources. All rules,
regulations, forms, orders and directives promulgated by or in effect
for the Board of Natural Resources as of June 30, 1969, shall con-
tinue in force unless such continuance would involve an unreasonable
construction of this statute or unless and until changed by the
Secretary of Natural Resources.
