provisions of this act, all of whom shall [have 
been actual residents of the State of New Jersey for at least 5 years and shall] serve during

be employed by the commission or hold any office or position under the 
commission who holds an official relation to any association or corporation 
engaged in or conducting horse racing or who holds stock or bonds therein, or 
who has any pecuniary interest therein.� The provisions of Title 11, Revised
