(1) does not have at the time of taking office the qualifications required by Section 202.051 or 202.053;

(2) does not maintain during service on the advisory board the qualifications required by Section 202.051 or 202.053;

(3) is ineligible for membership under Section 202.054;

(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 advisory board meetings that the member is eligible to attend during a calendar year unless the absence is excused by a majority vote of the advisory board.

(b) The validity of an action of the advisory board is not affected by the fact that the action is taken when a ground for removal of an advisory board member exists.

(c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential ground for removal exists, the executive director shall notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists.
