(2) The members appointed under subsection (1)(d) of this section serve three-year terms. All members serve at the pleasure of the governor.

Members of the commission serve without compensation, but members described in subsections (1)(b), (1)(c), and (1)(d) of this section are entitled to their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. The commission shall meet on call of the chairperson, but not less than once every three months. A majority of the members of the commission constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.
