16    Upon  expiration  of  the  terms  of  the  members  initially
17    appointed under this amendatory Act of 1996, their respective
18    successors  shall be appointed for terms of 6 years, from the
19    second Wednesday in January of each  odd  numbered  year  and
20    until   their   respective  successors  are   appointed   and
21    qualified.  Vacancies in terms shall be filled by appointment
22    by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for
23    the extent of the unexpired term. If a vacancy in  membership
24    occurs  at  a  time  when  the  Senate is not in session, the
25    Governor shall make a temporary appointment  until  the  next
26    meeting  of  the  Senate,  when  the Governor shall appoint a
27    person to fill that membership for the remainder of its term.
28    If the Senate is not in session when appointments for a  full
29    term  are made, the appointments shall be made as in the case
30    of vacancies.
