The Contractors State License Board's own membership is fixed by statute. Which statement best describes its statutory composition?

Explanation

§7000.5(a) puts 15 members on the Board, and §7002(a) fixes the mix: one general engineering contractor, two general building contractors, two specialty contractors, one member of a building-trades labor organization, one active local building official, and eight public members, one of them from a statewide senior citizen organization. §7003 splits the appointments — the Governor names the five contractor members, the building official, the labor member and four public members, while the Senate Rules Committee and the Speaker of the Assembly each name two public members. So (a) both undercounts and erases the public majority, (c) invents an appointing authority, and (d) invents an election that no section provides.
