Before entering upon the discharge of the duties of his office, each member of the board shall take oath that he will well and faithfully execute the duties of his office according to the laws of the state, and shall give bond to the state, with sufficient surety to be approved by the Governor, in the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars conditioned that he will well and faithfully execute and perform the duties of his office according to the Constitution and laws of this state. Every such bond, when fully executed and approved, shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of the State. The Governor shall at all times, when in his opinion the bond of any member of the board has become or is likely to become invalid or insufficient, require such member forthwith to renew such bond to be approved by the Governor in the sum prescribed in this section. The cost of any such bond given by any member of the board under this section shall be part of the necessary expenses of the board. The powers of the board are vested in the members thereof. All actions shall be taken and motions and resolutions adopted by the board at any meeting thereof by the affirmative vote of at least four members. Four members of the board shall constitute a quorum, or in instance of vacancy, a majority of the members remaining qualified.
