Concerning public hospital boards of trustees.
Bill Summary:
The act allows a board of county commissioners to appoint an individual who is already an elected or appointed state, county, or city official to a public hospital board of trustees (hospital board).
Before passage of the act, a hospital board was required organize and operate on the second Tuesday of each January. The act changes that requirement to mandate that a hospital board organize and operate on an annual basis. The act eliminates a requirement that one of the trustees of a hospital board must visit and examine the hospital at least twice each month. The act also changes the deadline by which a hospital board must certify to a board of county commissioners the amount necessary to maintain and improve the hospital for the ensuing year from October 1 to December 1.
