The bill, H.B. No. 2379, amends Section 1112.155(a) of the Special District Local Laws Code regarding the selection of a depository bank for the West Coke County Hospital District. The amendment allows the board of directors to select one or more banks to serve as a depository for district money, removing the previous requirement that the banks must be located within the district.

The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this necessary vote, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Special District Local Laws Code 1112.155 (Special District Local Laws Code 1112)
