Modifies provisions relating to county health officers

HB 460 modifies how counties appoint county health officers. It allows county commissions to appoint a licensed physician for a one-year term, or an interim officer during vacancies until a permanent replacement is named. Counties decide whether to appoint a health officer at all, set their compensation (paid from county funds), and may appoint the public health center director. The bill does not require counties to appoint a health officer, preserving local flexibility in health officer staffing.
