H.B. No. 2014 establishes new provisions for the election of the board of directors of the Somervell County Hospital District by adding Chapter 1123 to the Special District Local Laws Code. This chapter defines key terms such as "Board," "Director," and "District," and outlines the structure of the board, which will consist of seven elected directors serving staggered four-year terms. Elections for these directors will occur on the uniform election date in May of designated years.
Additionally, the bill includes transitional provisions for current directors, allowing them to serve until their terms expire. It specifies that during the May 2026 election, directors will draw lots to determine which two will serve two-year terms and which three will serve three-year terms, while subsequent elections in May 2027 will revert to four-year terms for newly elected directors. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
