When both the Chair and Vice Chair are either absent or elect not to preside, the Board shall designate a member of the Board to serve as acting chair. In any such case, the acting chair shall have the same duties and authority of the Chair and shall serve until either the Chair or Vice Chair resume his or her duties. (Added 2013, No. M-17 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. May 20, 2014.)
