The exercise by the commission of the powers conferred by this act [§§ 36-8-201 through 36-8-238] is an essential governmental function of the state. However, the performance of such governmental functions shall not be construed to relieve the commission from liability for personal injuries or property damages incurred by it through its negligence or the negligence of its servants or agents.  (b) The commission shall consist of five (5) members appointed by the governor, by and with the consent of the senate. The members shall be residents of the state and qualified electors therein for a period of at least one (1) year next preceding their appointment.
