There is established a campaign spending commission.  The commission shall
consist of five members of the general public, appointed by the governor from a
list of ten nominees submitted by the judicial council.  The judicial council
may solicit applications for the list of nominees through community
organizations and advertisements in any newspaper of general circulation.  Any
vacancies in the commission shall be filled by the governor with a member from
the list of nominees or by reappointment of a commissioner whose term has
expired, subject to the limit on length of service imposed by section 26-34.



The judicial council shall meet and
expeditiously select additional persons for the list of nominees whenever the

Notwithstanding section 26-34, these
appointments shall not be subject to senatorial confirmation.  The term of the
commissioners shall be four years, except that the terms of the initial
commissioners shall be two years for two commissioners, three years for two
other commissioners and four years for the chairperson, as determined by the
governor.



The commissioners shall serve without
compensation but they shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses, including
travel expenses, incurred in the discharge of their duties.  The commission
shall be placed within the department of accounting and general services for
administrative purposes. [L 1979, c 224, pt of §2; gen ch 1985, 1993; am L Sp
