(a) From more than one-half of all meetings of the board, regular and special, held within any period of four consecutive months; or
(b) From one-half or more of all meetings held within any 12-month period, the member shall thereupon forfeit the board membership.
(2) For boards that meet quarterly, whenever a member of the board is absent from half or more of all meetings held within any 12-month period, the member shall thereupon forfeit the board membership office.
(3) For boards without a prescribed schedule or those that meet at the call of the chair as needed, whenever a member of the board is absent from half or more of all meetings held within any 12-month period, the member shall thereupon forfeit the board membership.
(B) Any member who misses the number of meetings set forth in this section shall forfeit the board membership as a matter of law.
