(2) The authority shall consist of the following five (5) members:

(a) The state treasurer, or his designee, who shall serve as ex officio chairman;

(b) One (1) member of the senate, who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the president pro tempore of the senate for a term of two (2) years;

(c) One (1) member of the house of representatives, who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the speaker of the house of representatives for a term of two (2) years; and

(3) A vacancy occurring other than by expiration of term shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment and for the balance of the unexpired term.

(4) The members may elect, by majority vote, a secretary and a treasurer. The secretary and treasurer may be nonmembers, and the same person may be elected to serve both as secretary and treasurer.

(5) Three (3) members of the authority shall constitute a quorum. Action may be taken and motions and resolutions adopted by the authority at any meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of members present.
