Sec. 5. (a) When a vacancy occurs on the commission, the governor shall promptly notify the chairman of the nominating committee of the vacancy. The chairman shall call a meeting of the committee within ten (10) days after the notice. The nominating committee shall submit its nominations of three (3) candidates for each vacancy and certify them to the governor no later than forty (40) days from the time the vacancy occurs. When it is known that a vacancy will occur at a definite future date, but the vacancy has not yet occurred, the governor shall notify the nominating committee immediately thereof, and the committee may, within sixty (60) days of the notice of the vacancy, make its nominations and submit to the governor the names of three (3) persons nominated for the forthcoming vacancy.
(b) The governor may appoint to the commission one (1) of the three (3) persons nominated by the nominating committee for a vacancy, or the governor may reject all of such nominees. If the governor rejects all of such nominees, he shall so notify the chairman of the nominating committee, and the committee shall certify the nominations of three (3) additional candidates to the governor not later than forty (40) days after receipt of such notice. The governor shall fill the vacancy on the commission from one (1) of such additional nominees.
