    Sec. 7. (a) The Prairie State 2000 Authority shall be governed and operated by a Board of Directors consisting of the State Treasurer, the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the Director of Employment Security, or their respective designees, as ex officio members, and 4 public members who shall be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate and who shall be of high moral character and expert in educational or vocational training matters, employee benefits, or finance. Each public member shall be appointed for an initial term as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section. Thereafter, each public member shall hold office for a term of 4 years and until his successor has been appointed and assumes office. The Board shall elect a public member to be Chairman. A vacancy shall occur upon resignation, death, conviction of a felony, or removal from office of a Director. The Governor may remove any public member from office on a formal finding of incompetence, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office. Within 30 days after the office of any appointed member becomes vacant for any reason, the Governor shall fill the vacancy for the unexpired term in the same manner as that in which appointments are made. If the Senate is not in session when the first appointments are made or when the Governor fills a vacancy, the Governor shall make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the Senate, when he shall nominate persons to be confirmed by the Senate. No more than 2 public members shall be members of the same political party. Every public member's term shall commence on July 1, except for the terms of the public members initially appointed, whose terms shall commence upon the appointment of all 4 public members.

    (b) The initial terms of public members shall be as follows:

        (i) Two Directors not members of the same political

    party shall be appointed to serve until July 1, 1987;

        (ii) Two Directors not members of the same political

    party shall be appointed to serve until July 1, 1985.

    No public member may serve as a Director for an aggregate of more than 8 years. A Director appointed under this paragraph (b) shall serve until his successor shall have been appointed and assumes office.
