H.B. No. 2014 establishes new provisions for the election and administration of the board of directors of the Somervell County Hospital District. The bill introduces Chapter 1123 to the Special District Local Laws Code, which includes definitions for key terms such as "Board," "Director," and "District." It specifies that the board will consist of seven elected directors who will serve staggered four-year terms, with elections held on the uniform election date in May of designated years.
Additionally, the bill outlines transitional provisions for current directors, allowing them to continue serving until their terms expire. It stipulates that during the May 2026 election, newly elected directors will draw lots to determine the length of their terms, with some serving two years and others three years, before transitioning to four-year terms for subsequent elections. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
