Bill > SB1400

This bill modifies existing law regarding the Alameda Health System's hospital authority, which is a separate public agency established by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to manage the health system. Key changes include allowing the hospital authority's governing board to include representatives from local public entities that financially support it, and giving the board of supervisors discretion to have the governing board consist entirely of supervisors, or include supervisors, county officers, or employees, without this impacting the authority's independence. The bill also permits the governing board to delegate day-to-day operations to subsidiary bodies with relevant expertise, provided the ultimate control remains with the governing board, and allows the hospital authority to affiliate with or acquire other public or private healthcare facilities to further its mission.
