Eliminates requiring certain joint officials be from adjacent municipalities.

This bill eliminates a requirement that local health boards of multiple municipalities must be adjacent to share health staff. Currently, such boards could only jointly employ health officers and environmental specialists if the municipalities bordered each other. The bill changes this by allowing any two or more municipalities - regardless of proximity - to collaborate on hiring health personnel and share costs. It takes effect immediately and directly affects local health boards and regional health commissions forming joint staffing arrangements.
