69.16 APPOINTIVE BOARDS -- POLITICAL AFFILIATION.
All appointive boards, commissions, and councils of the state
established by the Code if not otherwise provided by law shall be
bipartisan in their composition. No person shall be appointed or
reappointed to any board, commission, or council established by the
Code if the effect of that appointment or reappointment would cause
the number of members of the board, commission, or council belonging
to one political party to be greater than one-half the membership of
the board, commission, or council plus one.
In the case where the appointment of members of the general
assembly is allowed, and the law does not otherwise provide, if an
even number of legislators are appointed they shall be equally
divided by political party affiliation; if an odd number of members
of the general assembly are appointed, the number representing a
certain political party shall not exceed by more than one the
legislative members of the other political party who may be
appointed. If there are multiple appointing authorities for a board,
commission or council, the appointing authorities shall consult to
avoid a violation of this section. This section shall not apply to
any board, commission, or council established by the Code for which
other restrictions regarding the political affiliations of members
are provided by law.
