Elected officials shall not be eligible.

The commission shall be composed of 2 members appointed by each of the following, the Speaker of the House, the Senate President, the Governor; 1 member appointed by each of the following, the Minority Leader of the House, the Minority Leader of the Senate; 3 members appointed by mutual agreement of the Speaker of the House, the Senate President, and the Governor who serve in a leadership capacity in an association or union representing the interests of the employees who would be eligible for the credit.
