3701.12 Removal procedure.

The director of health may be removed from office by the governor, only upon recommendation of the public health council. Charges against the director must be submitted in writing, and, after hearing, the council must have found, by a majority vote of the entire council, such charges to be true in fact, and their nature such that, in its opinion, the best interests of the state demand such removal. A member of the council may be removed by the governor for incompetence or gross neglect of duty.
