Sec. 2152.056. REMOVAL OF COMMISSION MEMBER. (a) It is a ground for removal from the commission that a member:
(1) violates a prohibition established by Section 2152.054;
(2) cannot discharge because of illness or disability the member's duties for a substantial part of the term for which the member is appointed; or
(3) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled commission meetings that the member is eligible to attend during a calendar year unless the absence is excused by majority vote of the commission.
(b) The validity of an action of the commission is not affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a commission 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 commission 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 commission, who shall then notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists.
