Text

An economic development commissioner
may be removed from office for neglect of duty, incompetency,
inability to perform the commissioner's duties, or any other good cause,
by the executive or fiscal body that selected or nominated the
commissioner. The commissioner removed may obtain judicial review
of the removal by filing a complaint in a circuit or superior court in the
county, and the burden of proof is upon the executive or fiscal body
that removed the commissioner. The cause shall be placed on the
advanced calendar and be tried as other civil causes are tried by the
court, without a jury. The court's judgment may be appealed in the
same manner as any civil action.
