E. The deputy secretary of the Department of Public Safety shall have the authority to revoke any reserve officer's commission, and is further empowered to require those holding a reserve officer's commission to furnish proof of their being bonded and such other information as may be deemed necessary for determining suitability for holding a reserve officer's commission.
F. Reserve officers' commissions shall only be valid for a period of one year from the date of their issuance.
