president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer of the board.
	(b)  The board may appoint committees from its membership.  A 
committee appointed from the board membership shall:
		(1)  consider matters relating to the enforcement of 
this subtitle and the rules adopted under this subtitle as referred 
to the committee;  and
		(2)  make recommendations to the board regarding those 
matters.

vacancy on the committee may be filled by any other board member 
regardless of qualification.
	(d)  If members who meet the qualifications of Subsection (c)

osteopathic medicine and one executive committee member meets the 
qualifications for a public member under Section 152.003.
