February 1, 2011, the members of the commission will each serve a
two-year term without compensation but may be reimbursed for
actual and necessary expenses.  Upon request of the commission,
the Office of Administration will provide staff to assist the
commission in its duties.

Upon completion of the required analysis, the commission must
compile a report by February 1, 2012, and every year thereafter,
