Section text
Sec. 21. (a) This subsection only applies to a local board in a county that does not contain a consolidated city. An individual who is an appointed member serves at the pleasure of the member's appointing authority as long as: (1) the city or town executive who appointed the member still holds the same office; or (2) the county executive or fiscal body that appointed the member retains all of the same members who served on the body when the individual was appointed. If subdivision (1) or (2) does not apply, the individual may only be removed for good cause. (b) This subsection only applies to a local board in a county that has a consolidated city. An appointed member of a local board may be removed from office only for good cause. (c) In order to remove an appointed member for good cause, the commission shall give the member a written copy of the charges against the member and shall fix the time, which shall not be less than five (5) days thereafter, when the member may appear before the commission and show cause why the member should not be removed. The commission shall establish procedures for the removal of an appointed member of a local board. The findings and determinations of the commission in respect to a removal shall be final.
