(b) A vacancy does not exist when an actively sitting board member completes the member's first or second full or partial term, so long as the member is reappointed by the Governor to a second or third term.

(b) A licensee is not qualified for nomination to board membership if the licensee has been convicted, plead guilty, or plead nolo contendere to any criminal charge if the relationship of the facts which support the charge and all intervening circumstances tend to show that the licensee is not fit to hold the position, in the discretion of the board.
