Bill > SB2784

This bill establishes a new legal framework for the governance of the Somervell County Hospital District by creating a seven-member elected board of directors who will serve staggered four-year terms, with elections held in May of the appropriate years. The bill provides a transition plan for the current board members, allowing those serving at the time of the bill's passage to complete their existing terms. For the May 2026 election, directors will draw lots to determine whether they will serve initial two-year or three-year terms, with subsequent elections in May 2027 establishing the standard four-year term structure. All future directors will serve four-year terms, ensuring continuity and stability in the district's leadership. This legislation formalizes the election process and board composition for the Somervell County Hospital District, providing clear guidelines for board membership and succession. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving the district time to prepare for the new election and governance structure.
