Bill > HF1703

This bill modifies the governance structure of the Swift County hospital district by reducing the number of board members and adjusting how those members are selected. Specifically, the bill changes the hospital district's board of directors from a range of 9-12 members to a fixed number of 6 voting members, with 2 directors to be elected by the city council and 4 directors to be elected by the county board (unless otherwise specified in the district's bylaws). The bill provides flexibility for the district to modify its board composition through bylaw amendments, and maintains provisions for staggered terms, filling vacancies, and board member compensation. Additionally, the bill makes technical corrections to various section references in the original 1992 law governing the hospital district. The changes will become effective after the governing bodies of Swift County and the city of Benson complete certain statutory requirements for local government legislation. These modifications aim to streamline the hospital district's governance while maintaining local governmental oversight and representation.
