Bill > HB2607

This bill modifies two key provisions related to the Walker County Hospital District. First, it changes the terms of board managers from two-year to four-year staggered terms, with terms expiring in even-numbered years. Second, the bill extends the maximum lease term for district property, including hospital buildings and facilities, from 40 years to 80 years, allowing the district board more flexibility in leasing arrangements. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses, otherwise it will become effective on September 1, 2025. These changes appear designed to provide the hospital district with more long-term planning capabilities and potentially more attractive leasing options for its facilities.
