"Section 40-51-30. For the purpose of carrying out this chapter, the Governor shall appoint a Board of Podiatry Examiners, to consist of four podiatrists, actually engaged in this practice in the State and one consumer member. All members of the board must be residents of South Carolina. Nominations of the podiatrists for appointment to the board must be received by the Governor from the South Carolina Board of Podiatry Examiners with all licensed active practicing podiatrists residing in this State having an opportunity to vote and being eligible to be candidates during a pre-announced election. The Governor shall appoint the consumer member from the State at large. The Governor may reject any or all of the nominees upon satisfactory showing as to the unfitness of those rejected. If the Governor declines to appoint any of the nominees submitted, additional nominees must be submitted in the same manner. The members of the board must be appointed by the Governor for terms of two years. The Governor may remove from office members of the Board of Podiatry Examiners for neglect of duties as required by this chapter or for malfeasance in office for unprofessional conduct. The State Board of Medical Examiners shall designate one medical doctor as a consultant to the board. The Attorney General of South Carolina is the legal advisor to the board with power to prosecute any violation of this chapter."
