There is hereby established the New Jersey Intergovernmental Relations Commission, whose function it shall be to carry forward the participation of this State as a member of the Council of State Governments, both regionally and nationally, to confer with officials of other States and of Federal Government, to formulate proposals for co-operation between this State and the other States, and with the Federal Government, to maintain liaison with the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations established by Federal law, and to organize and maintain governmental machinery for such purposes.

The commission shall annually appoint, from among its entire membership, a delegate as a member of the Governing Board of the Council of State Governments for this State, who shall serve for the legislative year in which he is appointed as a delegate and until his successor shall be appointed and shall qualify. Whenever the commission shall fail to so appoint a delegate, or the duly appointed delegate becomes unavailable or unable to serve for any reason whatever, the chairman of the commission shall serve as the delegate until such time as a delegate has been appointed and has qualified.
