The State Legislative Research Council shall have an executive board, to be known as the Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council, which shall consist of fifteen members, as follows: six members from the Senate and seven members from the House of Representatives, to be elected by a majority vote by their respective legislative bodies before the close of each regular session of the Legislature held in odd-numbered years, and ex officio the president pro tempore of the Senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives elected in such regular session. Each senator and each representative serving on the executive board, including each ex officio member, shall serve until a new executive board has been selected at the next such regular legislative session; provided, however, that no senator who is not reelected to the Senate and no representative who is not reelected to the House of Representatives, shall serve as a member of the board beyond the closing day of the term to which he was elected. When the Legislature is not in such regular session, the number of senate and house members on the executive board shall remain constant, and any vacancy then occurring shall be filled by the remaining board members of that legislative body affected. No board member, excepting ex officio, shall serve more than three successive terms.
