 and appropriate.

 three members shall be appointed by the speaker of the  assembly;  three
 members shall be appointed by the temporary president of the senate; two
 members shall be appointed by the minority leader of the senate; and two
 members  shall  be  appointed  by  the  minority leader of the assembly.
 Members so appointed shall be representative of community based  provid-

 viduals  returning  to  society from prison, criminal justice advocates,
 and academic professionals in the field of criminal justice. The remain-
 ing members shall be the heads of the following departments or  agencies
