New Jersey Statutes Title 32. Interstate and Port Authorities and Commissions 32 § 32-6

a. The fund shall be managed by an 11 member board of directors, five of whom shall be appointed by the Governor of New York and five of whom shall be appointed by the Governor of New Jersey. The five directors appointed by the Governor of New Jersey shall be subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. The 11th director, who shall be the chairperson of the board, shall be appointed jointly by the Governors of New York and New Jersey. Two directors shall be appointed by each governor to serve for initial terms of three years each, three directors shall be appointed by each governor to serve for initial terms of four years each, and the 11th director shall be appointed jointly by the governors to serve for a term of five years. All subsequent appointments shall be for terms of five years. All terms shall commence upon the date of appointment.

b. Each director shall continue to hold office until a successor is appointed. The resignation of any director shall be filed with the governor who shall have made the appointment and shall be effective when so filed. Vacancies occurring otherwise than by expiration of term of office shall be filled for the remainder of the unexpired term in the same manner as the original appointment. A director may be removed from office in accordance with the laws of the state from which the appointment was made relating to the removal of public officers serving at the pleasure of the Governor. The jointly appointed director may be removed from office in accordance with the law of either the State of New York or the State of New Jersey relating to the removal of public officers serving at the pleasure of the Governor.

c. The board may appoint a vice chairperson and such other officers as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish its corporate purposes and may adopt bylaws to govern its conduct and the operation of the fund. No action of the board shall be binding unless taken at a meeting at which at least three members from each state are present and vote in favor thereof. The board may delegate to one or more of its members such powers as it may deem proper. Members of the board shall serve without compensation, but shall be entitled to reimbursement for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.
