§ 24-6-3-6 — Qualifications of inspectors; discharge and removal

Only those persons shall be eligible to
appointment to the position of county or city inspectors of weights and
measures who on March 9, 1925, are county or city sealers or
inspectors of weights and measures or who have passed an examination
which shall be given by the division of weights and measures of the
Indiana department of health to test the ability of the person so
examined to perform satisfactorily the duties of a county or city
inspector of weights and measures. If it is evident to the division of
weights and measures that any county or city inspector of weights and
measures is not properly and faithfully performing the duties of the
office, the division of weights and measures shall have power to
discharge such county or city inspector of weights and measures. Such
removal, however, shall not be made until five (5) days' notice of the
charge or charges shall have been mailed to him by the division,
naming a time and place for a hearing not less than two (2) weeks later
than the time of mailing such notice to the county or city inspector of
weights and measures; provided, however, that any county or city
inspector of weights and measures so removed by the division of
weights and measures shall have the right to appeal from the action of
the division to the circuit or superior court of the county in which such
county or city inspector of weights and measures resides, and during
the pendency of such appeal, such county or city inspector of weights
and measures may serve in the inspector's official capacity. Any county
or city inspector of weights and measures discharged as provided in
this section shall be ineligible to hold the position of county or city
inspector of weights and measures for four (4) years, and the vacancy
shall be filled by the proper authorities as provided in this chapter.
