expiration of term.  (a)  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary,
the term of a board member shall expire upon the failure of the
member, without valid excuse, to attend three consecutive meetings duly noticed
to all members of the board and where the board failed to constitute quorum
necessary to transact board business.  The chair or acting chair of the board
shall determine if the absence of the member is excusable.  The expiration of

same manner as the original appointment.



(b)  This section shall not apply to ex officio
members of a board.



(c)  Notwithstanding the definition of

or whose authority is strictly advisory. [L 2004, c 234, §1]
