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 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 office have been revised to specify that candidates must be district residents and qualified voters, while also prohibiting district employees from being elected or appointed 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 will of the board, and allows the board to enter into construction contracts while adhering to specific government code provisions. Furthermore, it repeals certain sections of the Special District Local Laws Code that are no longer applicable. The changes will apply to elections ordered on or after the effective date of the Act, with provisions ensuring that current directors can continue to serve their terms.
