(2) does not maintain during service on the committee the qualifications required by Section 603.051;
(3) is ineligible for membership under Section 603.0511 or 603.052;
(4) cannot, because of illness or disability, discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's term; or
(5) 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 member of the committee exists.
(c) If the executive secretary has knowledge that a potential ground for removal exists, the executive secretary shall notify the presiding officer of the committee of the potential ground. The presiding officer shall then notify the commissioner and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists. If the potential ground for removal involves the presiding officer, the executive secretary shall notify the next highest ranking officer of the committee, who shall then notify the commissioner and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists.
