Each member of the board shall be a citizen of the United States, a resident of this state for a minimum of two years before appointment to the board, and shall file with the secretary of state an oath of office before beginning the member's term of office. However, until at least five certified professional midwives meet the residency requirement, the Governor may appoint certified professional midwives, who are licensed in this state, who reside in other jurisdictions to serve on the board. Initial appointments to the board may include certified professional midwives who are eligible for licensure under this chapter and who intend to apply for licensure in this state when it is available.
