Currently, the two members of the Highways and Transportation Commission, one from each political party, who have the most seniority in commission service serve as commission leadership with one as chair and the other as vice chair for a period of one year. At the end of the year, the chair and vice chair rotate. If one of the commission leadership offices becomes vacant, the commission elects one of its members from the same political party as the vacating officer to serve the remainder of the term. The substitute specifies that beginning March 1, 2010, the commission will annually elect the two members for chair and vice chair.
