  on or before 30 days after notifying the Governor, the member’s term shall end on
  the expiration date of the member’s current term, unless the member is nominated as
  provided in subsection (b) of this section and subsequently appointed, or as otherwise
  provided by law. (3) A Board member’s reappointment shall be subject to the consent of the Senate. (d) Appointment; Senate consent. Unless the Governor reappointed a Board member pursuant to subsection (c) of this
