    Chapter 16a: Department established

      Section: 52:16a-62: The board of trustees of the New Jersey State Museum.

          
3. a. The general responsibility for the proper operation of the New Jersey State Museum shall be vested in the board of trustees, which shall possess the powers and duties specified in this act. The board of trustees shall consist of 15 members: the Secretary of State, or the Secretary's designee, ex officio and 14 public members, to be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. Five of the public members shall be selected from the trustees of the Friends of the New Jersey State Museum, one of whom shall be the president of that body; three of the public members shall be selected from the trustees of Historic Morven, Inc., one of whom shall be the president of that body; and six of the public members shall be selected from the public at large.

b. The term of office of each public member shall be five years, except for the initial appointments which shall be made as follows: two members shall be appointed for a one-year term, two members shall be appointed for a two-year term, two members shall be appointed for a three-year term, two members shall be appointed for a four-year term, and four members shall be appointed for a five-year term. The terms of the president of the Friends of the New Jersey State Museum and the president of Historic Morven, Inc. shall coincide with the presidents' terms of office. A public member of the board of trustees may be removed by the Governor, for cause, upon notice and opportunity to be heard. A vacancy occurring other than by expiration of term shall be filled for the balance of the unexpired term only and in the same manner as the original appointment. A member may serve until a successor is appointed. No person shall serve for more than two successive terms, provided, however, that any person appointed to fill a vacancy shall be eligible for two successive terms after the term for which the person was appointed to fill the vacancy.

c. There shall be five nonvoting, ex officio members of the board of trustees, in addition to the 14 public members:

(1) Two members of the Senate, who are not of the same political party, shall be appointed by the President of the Senate, and two members of the General Assembly, who are not of the same political party, shall be appointed by the Speaker of the General Assembly. The legislative members shall serve for terms coextensive with the legislative two-year term for which they were appointed, subject to reappointment after the expiration of the legislative session.

(2) The Executive Director of the Museum.

d. The public members of the board of trustees shall serve without compensation but shall be entitled to reimbursement for all actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. The nonvoting, ex officio members shall not receive any compensation for services or reimbursement for expenses.
