2005 Washington Revised Code RCW 15.24.033: Members — Transition to appointed commission — Appointments by director.

To accomplish the transition to a commission structure as set forth in RCW 15.24.030, the names of the currently elected commission members shall be forwarded to the director for appointment within thirty days of June 10, 2004, for appointment for the remainder of their current terms. Thereafter, the director shall appoint commission members pursuant to the commission structure set forth in RCW 15.24.030 as the current commission member terms expire. As part of the transition, in order to achieve proper representation of producer members relative to planted acreages, as each current producer position expires the director shall appoint a replacement producer member from the district then most underrepresented until the initial balance of representation is achieved. Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, nominations for transitioning positions required for underrepresented districts shall be made from the district to be represented by the new commission member. Thereafter, reallocations shall be accomplished as provided in RCW 15.24.030.
