§ 110.005. REMOVAL OF BOARD MEMBER.  (a) It is a ground 
for removal from the board of directors of the Rural Foundation that 
a member:
		(1)  is ineligible for membership under Section 
110.004;                    
		(2)  cannot, because of illness or disability, 
discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's 
term;  or
		(3)  is absent from more than half of the regularly 
scheduled board meetings that the member is eligible to attend 
during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote 
of the board of directors.
	(b)  The validity of an action of the board of directors of 
the Rural Foundation 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 of the Office of Rural 
Community Affairs has knowledge that a potential ground for removal 
exists, the executive director shall notify the presiding officer 
of the board of directors of the Rural Foundation 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 next highest ranking 
officer of the board of directors, who shall then notify the 
governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for 
removal exists.
