The board shall consist of five members appointed by the governor, subject to confirmation by the senate as provided by K.S.A. 75-4315b and amendments thereto.

Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4315c, and amendments thereto, one member shall be appointed from each congressional district and the remainder shall represent the state at large.

(d) The terms of members who are serving on the board on the effective date of this act shall expire on March 15, of the year in which such member's term would have expired under the provisions of this section prior to amendment by this act.
