(2)  the fourth anniversary of the date of its creation.
(c)  An advisory committee that state or federal law has specifically created as described in Section 2110.0012(1) is considered for purposes of Subsection (b)(2) to have been created on the effective date of that law unless the law specifically provides for a different date of creation.
(d)  This section does not apply to an advisory committee that has a specific duration prescribed by statute.
