Senate Bill 1436 amends the governance structure of the Henry County Hospital District by modifying the composition and meeting requirements of its board of trustees. The bill stipulates that the board will consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of seven members, with two members being from the Henry County Commission and the remaining members being citizens at large. Trustees will serve staggered four-year terms, ensuring that no more than two terms expire in any single year. The bill also allows the Henry County Commission to recall trustees and mandates that a successor be appointed within ninety days if a vacancy occurs, provided it is necessary to maintain the minimum number of trustees.
Additionally, the bill changes the frequency of board meetings from monthly to at least quarterly, allowing the board to establish specific meeting dates. It repeals a previous section of the law and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The act will take effect only upon receiving a two-thirds vote of approval from the legislative body of Henry County.
