Sec. 30. (a) The judicial nominating commission (referred to as the "commission" in this chapter) consists of seven (7) members, the majority of whom shall form a quorum. The chief justice shall appoint a justice of the supreme court or a judge of the court of appeals to serve as a member and chairman of the commission until a successor is appointed. Those admitted to the practice of law in Indiana and residing in St. Joseph County or maintaining their principal law office in St. Joseph County shall elect, under sections 32 and 33 of this chapter, three (3) of their number to serve as attorney members of the commission. If any attorney member of the commission terminates residence in St. Joseph County or discontinues the maintenance of a principal law office in St. Joseph County, the member shall be considered to have resigned from the commission. The three (3) remaining members of the commission must be persons not admitted to the practice of law (referred to as "nonattorney members" in this chapter) and residents of St. Joseph County. However, not more than two (2) of the nonattorney members may be from the same political party and that the appointment of the nonattorney members of the commission shall be made under section 31 of this chapter. Not more than four (4) commission members may be from the same political party.
(b) A member of the commission may not hold any other salaried public office nor an office in a political party organization. A member of the commission is not eligible for appointment to a judicial office in St. Joseph County who has, within four (4) years immediately preceding an appointment, served on the commission. If any nonattorney member of the commission terminates residence in St. Joseph County, the member is considered to have resigned from the commission.
