Official statutory text
(a) It is a ground for removal from the board that a member:
(1) is no longer qualified for appointment to the board;
(2) engages in misconduct, is determined to be incompetent, neglects the member's official duties, or engages in malfeasance;
(3) commits a violation of this chapter resulting in disciplinary action or a felony; or
(4) fails without excuse to attend at least half of the regularly scheduled meetings held in a calendar year while the member is a member of the board.
(b) The validity of an action of the board is not affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a board member exists.
(c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential ground for removal exists, the executive director shall notify the presiding officer of the board of the potential ground. The presiding officer shall then notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists. If the potential ground for removal involves the presiding officer, the executive director shall notify the assistant presiding officer, who shall then notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists.
