(b) Misuse of the office by a member of the board to obtain personal, pecuniary, or material gain or advantage for himself or another;

(c) Willful violation of any provision of KRS Chapter 315 or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder.

(2) Any person may file a complaint with the executive director of the board against a board member alleging specific facts which constitute grounds for removal from the board. The executive director shall transmit a copy of any such complaint to the Governor, the president of the board and the accused board member. Upon a written recommendation of the Governor or two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the board, a hearing shall be conducted before an impartial hearing officer pursuant to KRS Chapter 13B.

(3) The hearing officer shall submit a transcript of the hearing to the Governor with a recommendation based on evidence presented in the hearing.
