Text

(a) If the executive finds that two (2) or more of

the disqualified members shall cease to act in that proceeding. Within
ten (10) days after the finding, the county auditor shall send a certified
copy of the record of the proceeding to the judge of the circuit court,
superior court, or probate court for the county. If the judge affirms the
disqualification of the members of the executive, the judge shall

members of the executive in the proceeding.
(b) A person who consents to serve as a special member of the

county auditor and entered on the records of the executive, and the
person may act with the other members of the executive conducting the
proceeding until a final determination is reached.
