SECTION 452.7. Commission Duties

(a) The commission is composed of five members appointed by the governor, with advice and consent of the senate. The commission adopts rules for the agency, and employs and directs the executive director. The commissioners retain and exercise all authority and responsibility assigned to them by law that has not been delegated to the executive director.

(b) The executive director manages the day-to-day business of the commission, employs staff, and carries out other duties and responsibilities assigned by law or delegated by the commission.

(c) A delegation of authority to the executive director must be made by the commission in an open meeting. The commission may review, modify, or ratify a delegation at any open meeting. A change in membership of the commission does not void an existing delegation of authority; it remains in effect until another one is approved by a majority vote of the commission at an open meeting.

(d) All decisions of the commission shall be by majority vote of a quorum of commissioners present and voting.
