§ 110.056. GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL.  (a) It is a ground for 
removal from the council that a member:
		(1)  does not have at the time of appointment the 
qualifications required by Sections 110.051(b) and 110.052;
		(2)  does not maintain during service on the council 
the qualifications required by Sections 110.051(b) and 110.052;
		(3)  does not complete the training program as required 
by Section 110.059; 
		(4)  violates a prohibition established by Section 
110.053;                 
		(5)  cannot because of illness or disability discharge 
the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's term;  or
		(6)  is absent from more than half of the regularly 
scheduled council meetings that the member is eligible to attend 
during a calendar year unless the absence is excused by majority 
vote of the council.
	(b)  The validity of an action of the council is not affected 
by the fact the action is taken when a ground for removal of a 
council 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 council 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 council, who shall notify the governor and the attorney general 
that a potential ground exists.
