S.D. Codified Laws § 36-15-3
The Cosmetology Commission shall perform all functions exercised by the former State Board of Cosmetology. The Cosmetology Commission consists of five members to be appointed by the Governor for a term of three years. No member may serve more than three consecutive full terms. However, appointment to fill an unexpired term is not considered a complete term for this purpose. Not all of the members may be of the same political party. Three members shall be currently licensed as cosmetologists in this state at the time of their appointment. Two members shall be lay people. The Governor may stagger the terms to enable the commission to have different terms expire each year. Any member appointed to the commission prior to July 1, 2005, shall serve the four-year term to which the member was originally appointed. Any member appointed to the commission after July 1, 2005, shall serve a three-year term. Each member of the commission shall take the oath of office as provided by law for public officials.
