(d) In approving a selection or in appointing a member to the board of directors, the commissioner shall consider, among other things, whether all member insurers are fairly represented. (e) Notwithstanding Subsections (1)(a) and (b), the commissioner shall, at the time of election, reelection, appointment, or reappointment adjust the length of terms to ensure that the terms of board members are staggered so that approximately half of the board of directors is selected during any two-year period. (2) (a) A member of the board of directors may be reimbursed from the assets of the association for expenses incurred by the member as a member of the board of directors. (b) A public representative appointed under Subsection (1)(a)(ii) may not receive compensation or benefits for the public representative's service, but in addition to reimbursement under Subsection (2)(a), a public representative may receive per diem and travel expenses established by the board with the approval of the commissioner. (c) Except as provided in Subsections (2)(a) and (b), a member of the board of directors may not be compensated by the association for the member's services.
