Removal from office
Official statutory text
Sec. 7. Any director may be removed from office for neglect of duty, incompetency, disability to perform the director's duties, or any other good cause, by an order of the circuit court, superior court, or probate court in the county in which such authority is located, subject to the following procedure: a complaint may be filed by any person against such director, setting forth the charges preferred; the cause shall be placed on the advanced calendar and be tried as other civil causes are tried by the court without the intervention of a jury. If such charges be sustained, the court shall declare such office vacant. A change of venue from the judge shall be granted upon motion but no change of venue from the county may be taken.
