There shall be one alternate member from a savings bank organized under the Savings Bank Act whose role shall be to attend a meeting of the State Banking Board if and only if the sitting member from a savings bank is unable to attend the meeting. There shall be 2 public members, neither of whom shall be an officer or director of or owner, whether directly or indirectly, of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock of any bank or savings bank. Members of the State Banking Board of Illinois cease to be eligible to serve on the Board once they no longer meet the requirements of their original appointment; however, a member from a State bank shall not be disqualified solely due to a change in the bank's asset size.
