• Requires one of the five non-industry board members to be a current elected municipal official, adding a new qualification criterion.

• Updates gender-neutral language throughout the statute, replacing "chairman" with "chairperson" and "vice-chairman" with "vice chairperson."

• Changes quorum language to clarify that a majority of appointed and serving board members constitutes a quorum if positions remain unfilled.

• Allows current board members serving on the effective date to continue until their terms expire, with all future appointments made under the new statutory requirements.
