 9 matters of general applicability within the department shall be applica-
 10 ble to the board. [Such] On and after January first, two thousand twen-

 12 [appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate],
 13 nine of whom shall be appointed by the governor, three of whom shall be
 14 appointed by the temporary president of the senate, three of whom shall
 15 be appointed by the speaker of the assembly, two of whom shall be
 16 appointed by the minority leader of the senate, and two of whom shall be
 17 appointed by the minority leader of the assembly. The term of office of
 18 each member of such board shall be for six years; provided, however,
 19 that any member chosen to fill a vacancy occurring otherwise than by
 20 expiration of term shall be appointed for the remainder of the unexpired
 21 term of the member whom [he] such person is to succeed. In the event of
 22 the inability to act of any member, the governor may appoint some compe-
 23 tent informed person to act in [his] the member's stead during the
 24 continuance of such disability.
