Bill > SF1863

This bill modifies the governance structure of the Swift County hospital district board by reducing the number of board members from a range of 9-12 to a fixed number of 6, with the specific composition changing from 3 directors elected by the city council and 6 directors elected by the county board to 2 directors elected by the city council and 4 directors elected by the county board. The bill provides flexibility for the hospital district to adjust the number of board members through bylaw amendments, and it maintains the existing provisions for staggered initial terms and filling vacancies. Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to references in other sections of the original law, such as updating section numbers and clarifying language around board compensation, officer duties, and facility leasing. The changes are specifically targeted at the Swift County hospital district and will become effective after the governing bodies of Swift County and the city of Benson complete certain administrative requirements. These modifications aim to streamline the hospital district's governance structure while maintaining local control and oversight.
