Ch. 5, Acts of 2003.

In subsection (c)(3) and (5) of this section, the references to a Board
member continuing to serve until a successor is appointed "and qualifies"
is added for accuracy and to conform to similar provisions in other revised
articles of the Code.

In subsection (c)(5) of this section, the reference to "[a] member who is
appointed after a term has begun" serving "only" for the rest of the term is
substituted for the former reference to a successor "who" serves for the rest
of the term to conform to similar provisions in other revised articles of the
Code.

Subsection, (f) of this section is revised in standard language used to
describe the compensation and reimbursement of expenses of members of a
board.

In subsection (g) of this section, the reference to a "coordinator who" is
responsible for the daily operation of the Board's office is substituted for
the former reference to a "coordinator position which" is responsible for the
daily operation of the Board's office to clarify that it is an individual, and
not a position, who has a responsibility under this subsection.

Also in subsection (g) of this section, the former reference to staff "services"
is deleted as implicit in the reference to "staff".
