 6 is amended to read as follows:
 7 (c) The council on the arts shall not be out of compliance with this

 10 as each new successive vacancy occurs,] such vacancy is filled within a
 11 reasonable time and the appointment made for such new vacancy shall move

 20 lative bills numbers S. 7296-A and A. 8978-A, takes effect.
