      Sec. 16-3. Vacancy. If any vacancy occurs in said Public Utilities Control Authority at any time when the General Assembly is not in session, the Governor shall appoint a commissioner to fill such vacancy until such vacancy is filled at the next session of the General Assembly. Any other vacancy shall be filled, for the unexpired portion of the term, in the manner provided in section 16-2.

      (1949 Rev., S. 5392; P.A. 75-486, S. 1, 69; P.A. 77-614, S. 162, 610; P.A. 78-303, S. 79, 136.)

      History: P.A. 75-486 replaced public utilities commission with public utilities control authority; P.A. 77-614 would have replaced public utilities control authority with division of public utility control within the department of business regulation, effective January 1, 1979, except for action of P.A. 78-303 which retained reference to authority in this section.

      Read together with section 4-1 this section provides that, on failure of general assembly to act on nomination submitted by the governor, the incumbent commissioner holds over as a de jure officer. 136 C. 312.
