Sec. 6. (a) It is the intent of this chapter that the nominating committee shall submit to the governor, from among those names the committee considers for a vacancy on the commission, the names of only the three (3) most highly qualified candidates. In determining which candidates are most highly qualified, each committee member shall evaluate each candidate on the following considerations:
(1) Education and academic honors and awards achieved.
(2) Professional experience and reputation.
(3) Financial interests, including any such interest which might conflict with the performance of commission responsibilities.
(4) Activities in public service.
(5) Any other pertinent information which the committee believes is important in selecting the most highly qualified individuals for commission membership.
(b) The nominating committee shall not make an investigation to determine these considerations until the individual states in writing that he desires to be appointed to fill an existing or forthcoming commission vacancy.
(c) The nominating committee shall submit with the list of three (3) nominees to the governor their written evaluation of each such nominee, based on those considerations stated in subsection (a) of this section. The list of names submitted to the governor may be publicly disclosed by the committee. The evaluations of candidates whose names have been submitted to the governor shall remain confidential.
