The bill, S.B. No. 2784, establishes new provisions for the election and administration of the board of directors of the Somervell County Hospital District. It introduces Chapter 1123 to the Special District Local Laws Code, which includes definitions for key terms such as "Board," "Director," and "District." 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 specifies that during the May 2026 election, newly elected directors will draw lots to determine which two will serve two-year terms and which three will serve three-year terms, while subsequent elections in May 2027 will revert to four-year terms for all directors. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
