(c) There shall be seven members of the council. The Director of Corrections, or his or her designee, shall be a member and serve as the commissioner, who shall represent California and serve on the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision. The commissioner shall also be the Compact Administrator for the State of California for purposes of the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. The Governor shall appoint three members, one of whom shall represent victims rights groups, and one of whom shall represent chief probation officers. One member each shall be appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules and the Speaker of the Assembly. The Judicial Council shall appoint one superior court judge as a member. (d) With the exception of the commissioner, each member of the council shall serve for a term of four years. Council members shall not be compensated, except for reasonable per diem expenses related to their work for council purposes. (e) The council shall, not later than July 1, 2005, submit a report to the Legislature on the status of implementing the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision in California. The report shall clearly differentiate the role and responsibilities of the state Compact Administrator from local supervisory agencies and shall articulate the interdependence between the state Compact Administrator and other related entities, including, but not limited to, local supervisory agencies.
