A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to term limits for the board of hospital managers of the
Nueces County Hospital District.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 281.0221, Health and Safety Code, is
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 281.0221. TERM LIMIT. (a) A member of the board of
hospital managers of the El Paso County Hospital District may not
serve more than two consecutive three-year terms and is not
eligible for reappointment to the board until the second
anniversary of the date the member's eligibility expires under this
subsection [section].
(b) A member of the board of hospital managers of the Nueces
County Hospital District may not serve more than four full
three-year terms. The completion of the unexpired portion of a term
does not constitute service for a full term for purposes of this
subsection.
SECTION 2. (a) Section 281.0221(b), Health and Safety
Code, as added by this Act, does not affect the eligibility of a
member serving on the board of hospital managers of the Nueces
County Hospital District on the effective date of this Act to
continue to serve on the board for the remainder of the member's
term. As the terms of board members expire, the Nueces County
Commissioners Court shall appoint or reappoint members as necessary
to ensure that the composition of the board complies with Section
281.0221(b), Health and Safety Code, as added by this Act.
(b) In making an appointment or reappointment to the board
of hospital managers of the Nueces County Hospital District on or
after the effective date of this Act, the Nueces County
Commissioners Court may not appoint or reappoint a person to the
board if before the effective date of this Act the person has served
four full three-year terms on the board, not including the
unexpired portion of any term, as prescribed by Section
281.0221(b), Health and Safety Code, as added by this Act.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
