(a) Except for new board positions required by § 7-70-102 or subsection (c), this chapter does not authorize an electric utility to create additional board positions in excess of the membership limits imposed by another state law or private act.

(b) This chapter does not require a home county or outside county to choose to appoint a person to a board member position or otherwise utilize the board member position to which the home county or outside county is entitled under § 7-70-102.

(c)(1) If the application of this chapter results in a majority of the positions of a utility board not being appointed by the home municipality, then the home municipality may increase the membership limits of the utility board to such minimum number of board positions that ensures the home municipality holds the appointment authority for a simple majority of the positions on the utility board.
