Of the original appointees, one shall serve for a term of 2 years and 2 shall serve for terms of 4 years. Subsequent appointees shall each serve for a term of 4 years or until their successors are appointed and approved. Any vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment for the remainder of the term.

HB 282-FN-A - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to compensation for the medical/vision advisory board and making an appropriation therefor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety states this bill will increase state expenditures by $300 in FY 2010, $300 in FY 2011, and $300 in FY 2012 and each year thereafter. This bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenue, or county and local expenditures.
This bill appropriates $10,000 from the state general fund in FY 2010 and FY 2011 to the Department of Safety for the purposes of this bill.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Safety states this bill would establish per diem compensation of $50 per member for the medical/vision advisory board within the Division of Motor Vehicles and makes a state general fund appropriation of $10,000 in FY 2010 and FY 2011 for this purpose. The Department states although the bill appropriates $10,000, they estimate that the annual per diem expenditures to the board members would only be $300, assuming three members and two meetings per year.
