The legislative budget assistant shall be afforded due notice of any such complaint and a fair hearing before said committee before dismissal. Should the fiscal committee vote to dismiss the legislative budget assistant, the legislative budget assistant may appeal the dismissal to a special committee consisting of the house finance and senate finance committees which shall have the power to uphold or reverse the decision of the fiscal committee.
