Thereafter, on the first day of July, one thousand nine hundred ninety-five, four additional members shall be appointed: Provided, That for the four new members added to the commission in the year one thousand nine hundred ninety-five, one shall serve an initial term of four years and three shall serve an initial term of two years. No more than three members may reside in the same congressional district. At least four members of the Commission shall be women and at least four members shall be men. No member of the Commission shall receive compensation for services rendered, nor be engaged or interested in the publishing business.
The members of the Commission in office on the date this code takes effect shall, unless sooner removed, continue to serve until their respective terms expire and their successors have been appointed and have qualified. On or before the expiration of the terms for which said members are appointed, the Governor shall appoint their successors.
In addition to the five members appointed above, the Governor shall also appoint a person who is blind as an ad hoc nonvoting member of the Commission to serve in an advisory capacity to the commission. The person appointed to this ad hoc position shall serve for a period of four years and may be reappointed.
