Bill Summary

Subject to local approval, authorizes the county commission to appoint a minimum of three and a maximum of seven members to the board of trustees for the Henry County Hospital District; reduces the frequency of regular meetings of the board of trustees from monthly to quarterly. - Amends Chapter 176 of the Private Acts of 1953; as amended.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the governance structure and meeting frequency of the Henry County Hospital District Trustees. The bill allows the Henry County Commission to appoint between three and seven trustees, with two of those trustees being members of the county commission and the remaining trustees being citizens of Henry County. Trustees will serve four-year staggered terms, ensuring no more than two terms expire in a single year. The county commission gains the ability to recall trustees with or without cause and must appoint a successor within 90 days if the vacancy would reduce the board below the minimum number of trustees. Additionally, the bill reduces the frequency of the board's regular meetings from monthly to quarterly, giving trustees more flexibility in their meeting schedule. The bill requires approval by a two-thirds vote of the Henry County legislative body and will not remove any current trustees before their terms end. These changes aim to provide more local control and adaptability in managing the hospital district's governance.
