The bill amends various sections of the Special District Local Laws Code concerning the operations and administration of the Concho County Hospital District. Key changes include the process for candidates to file for director positions, which now requires an application to be submitted to the board secretary instead of a petition signed by registered taxpaying voters. Additionally, the qualifications for being elected or appointed as a director have been updated to require that candidates be district residents and qualified voters, while explicitly prohibiting district employees from serving as directors.

Further amendments include the restructuring of the board's officer roles, now requiring the election of a president, vice president, and secretary from among its members. The bill also clarifies the authority of the district administrator and allows the board to enter into construction contracts, aligning with state law regarding public works. Several provisions have been repealed, including those related to the previous requirements for construction contracts and the assistant administrator role. The changes will apply to elections and appointments occurring after the bill's effective date, ensuring continuity for current board members.
