     3  follows:
     4    (b) Members of the board shall serve [at the pleasure of the  appoint-
     5  ing authority] for a term of three years, at which point such membership
     6  position  shall  be  subject  to reappointment.   Vacancies on the board
     7  shall be filled in the same manner as the original  appointment  once  a
     8  member's term has expired, or if a member resigns before his or her term
     9  has  expired.    Members of the board shall receive no compensation, but
    10  may be reimbursed for actual and  necessary  expenses  incurred  in  the
    11  performance  of their duties within amounts appropriated therefor. As of
    12  the effective date of the chapter of the laws of  two  thousand  twenty-
    13  three  which  amended this subdivision, all appointees who are currently
    14  serving on the board shall be subject to the term limit set forth pursu-
    15  ant to this section.
    16    § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth  day  after  it  shall
    17  have become a law.
