Who has the authority to remove a member of the board for neglect of duty?

The authority to remove a member of the board for neglect of duty rests with the Governor. This power is often outlined in state law governing the composition and responsibilities of regulatory boards. In Ohio, the Governor is tasked with the oversight of various state boards and has the ability to ensure that board members fulfill their duties effectively. In cases where a member is found to be negligent in their responsibilities, the Governor can take action to remove that member in order to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the board. This mechanism ensures accountability within the state’s regulatory framework and allows for the proper functioning of boards that oversee critical areas such as funeral services.
