(b) The state chairman may submit to the governor in writing, within thirty (30) days after notice of the vacancy, the names of two (2) individuals to fill the vacancy. If the state chairman submits the names of two (2) individuals within the thirty (30) day period, the governor shall appoint one (1) of the two (2) individuals to fill the vacancy.

(2) notify the state chairman of the selection.
(d) The state chairman may disapprove the selection by notifying the governor within seven (7) days after receiving notice of the governor's appointment.
