Bill > HB1414

This bill modifies the governance structure and meeting requirements for the Henry County Hospital District Trustees. The legislation allows the Henry County Commission to appoint between three and seven trustees, with two of those trustees being county commissioners and the rest being citizens of Henry County. Trustees will serve four-year staggered terms, and the county commission can recall trustees with or without cause. The commission must appoint a successor trustee within 90 days if a vacancy would cause the board to fall below the minimum number of trustees. Additionally, the bill reduces the frequency of board meetings from monthly to quarterly, requiring trustees to meet at least four times per year on dates they establish. The changes will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Henry County legislative body, and the bill includes provisions ensuring that current trustees can complete their existing terms. The legislation aims to provide more flexibility in board composition and meeting schedules while maintaining local control over the hospital district's governance.
