Section 9-6A-6Board of directors; compensation; proceedings to be reduced to writing and recorded.

The board of directors of the authority shall consist of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Director of Finance, the Director of the Alabama Department of Energy and one member from each congressional district in the state to be appointed by the Governor from recommendations made by the member of the United States House of Representatives representing each district. The Governor shall be the president of the authority, the Lieutenant Governor shall be its vice-president, and the Director of Finance shall be its secretary. The State Treasurer shall be the treasurer of the authority and shall act as custodian of its funds, but he shall not be a member of the authority. Any seven members of the board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Should any person holding any state office named in this section cease to hold office by reason of death, resignation of his term of office, or for any other reason, then his successor in office shall take his place as a member and officer of the authority.



Except as hereinafter provided, no member, officer or director of the authority shall receive any compensation in addition to that now authorized by law for any service they may render or for any duty they may perform in connection with the authority; provided, that the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall receive for each day devoted to the business of the authority the same per diem compensation and allowance that would be paid to them for attending legislative sessions, but this special compensation and allowance shall not be allowed on days when the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are paid per diem compensation and allowance for attending legislative sessions. The herein provided for special compensation and allowance of the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall be paid out of the moneys appropriated for the expenses of the Legislature in the same manner that the per diem compensation and allowance of legislators serving on interim committees are paid.



All proceedings had and done by the board of directors shall be reduced to writing by the secretary of the authority and recorded in a substantially bound book, which shall be kept in the office of the Secretary of State. Copies of such proceedings, when certified by the secretary of the authority, under the seal of the authority, shall be received in all courts as prima facie evidence of the matters and things therein certified.
