Relating to the election of the board of directors of the Somervell County Hospital District.
SB 2784 establishes new election rules for the Somervell County Hospital District board of directors. It requires seven elected directors serving staggered four-year terms, with a specific mechanism for the 2026 election: directors elected that year will draw lots to determine whether two serve two-year terms and three serve three-year terms. The 2027 election will establish all four-year terms for the board. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects the district's governance structure and election process.
