S.B. No. 1214 amends various sections of the Special District Local Laws Code to update the operations and administration of the Concho County Hospital District. Key changes include the process for candidates to apply for director positions, shifting from a petition-based system to an application submitted to the board secretary in accordance with the Election Code. Additionally, the qualifications for directors have been revised to require candidates to be district residents and qualified voters, while explicitly prohibiting district employees from serving as directors.

The bill also modifies the structure of the board by requiring the election of a president, vice president, and secretary from among its members. It clarifies the role of the district administrator, who serves at the board's discretion, and allows the board to enter into construction contracts while adhering to specific government code provisions. Furthermore, it repeals certain sections related to the previous contract and debt obligations, streamlining the district's financial management. The changes will apply to elections and appointments made after the bill's effective date, ensuring a smooth transition to the new regulations.
