     4    1. There shall be in the department a  state  board  of  parole  which
     5  shall  possess  the  powers  and duties hereinafter specified. The board
     6  shall function independently of the  department  regarding  all  of  its

    11  members appointed by the governor with the advice  and  consent  of  the
    12  senate. The term of office of each member of such board shall be for six
    13  years;  provided,  however,  that  any  member  chosen to fill a vacancy
    14  occurring otherwise than by expiration of term shall  be  appointed  for
    15  the  remainder  of the unexpired term of the member whom he or she is to
    16  succeed. In the event of the inability to act of any member, the  gover-
