69.16A Gender balance.
1. All appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of the state
established by the Code, if not otherwise provided by law, shall be gender balanced.
No person shall be appointed or reappointed to any board, commission, committee, or
council established by the Code if that appointment or reappointment would cause the
number of members of the board, commission, committee, or council of one gender to
be greater than one—half the membership of the board, commission, committee, or
council plus one if the board, commission, committee, or council is composed of an odd
number of members. If the board, commission, committee, or council is composed of
an even number of members, not more than one—half of the membership shall be of one
gender. If there are multiple appointing authorities for a board, commission, committee,
or council, they shall consult each other to avoid a violation of this section.
2. All appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of a political
subdivision of the state that are established by the Code, if not otherwise provided by
law, shall be gender balanced as provided by subsection 1 unless the political
subdivision has made a good faith effort to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy
on a board, commission, committee, or council in compliance with subsection 1 for a
period of three months but has been unable to make a compliant appointment. In
complying with the requirements of this subsection, political subdivisions shall utilize a
fair and unbiased method of selecting the best qualified applicants. This subsection
shall not prohibit an individual whose term expires prior to January 1, 2012, from being
reappointed even though the reappointment continues an inequity in gender balance.
