Under current law, the OPSB is an 11-member board consisting of the PUCO chairperson, who serves as the chairperson and chief executive officer; the directors of Environmental Protection, Development. Services, Health, Natural Resources, and Agriculture; a representative of the public; and four nonvoting legislative members. The member representing the public, who must be an engineer, is appointed by the governor for a four-year term, from a list of three nominees submitted to the governor by the Office of the Consumers' Counsel. This member's appointment is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. Additionally, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Senate President, and the Minority Leaders of the House and Senate each appoint one legislative member and an alternate member to attend the OPSB meetings in the absence of the appointed members.
