§ 115.0023. GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL.  (a) It is a ground for 
removal from the committee that a member:
		(1)  is ineligible for membership under Section 
115.0021;                   
		(2)  cannot 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 committee meetings that the member is eligible to attend 
during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote 
of the committee.
	(b)  The validity of an action of the committee is not 
affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a 
committee 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 committee 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 committee, who shall then notify the governor and the attorney 
general that a potential ground for removal exists.
