Such members may not receive any compensation from any licensed citrus fruit dealer or handler, as defined in s. 601.03, other than gift fruit shippers, but any of the grower members may not be disqualified as a member if, individually, or as the owner of, a member of, an officer of, or a stockholder of a corporation, firm, or partnership primarily engaged in citrus growing which processes, packs, and markets its own fruit and whose business is primarily not purchasing and handling fruit grown by others.

2. Three members of the commission shall be classified as processor members and shall be engaged as owners, or as paid officers or employees, of a corporation, firm, partnership, or other business unit engaged in canning, concentrating, or otherwise processing citrus fruit for market other than for shipment in fresh fruit form.

The regular terms begin on June 1 and expire on May 31 of the third year after such appointment.

(d) When appointments are made, the Governor shall publicly announce the actual classification and district that each appointee represents.

Before entering upon the discharge of their duties as members of the commission, each member shall take and subscribe to the oath of office prescribed in s. 5, Art. II of the State Constitution. The qualifications and classification required of each member by this section continue to be required throughout the respective term of office, and if a member, after appointment, fails to meet the qualifications or classification that she or he possessed at the time of appointment, the member must resign or be removed and be replaced with a member possessing the proper qualifications and classification.

(e) When making an appointment to the commission, the Governor shall announce the district, classification, and term of the person appointed.

(3)(a) The commission shall elect a chair and secretary and may elect a vice chair and such other officers as the commission deems advisable.
