Modifies provisions relating to hospitals
HB 2903 modifies the governance structure for public hospital boards of trustees. It specifies that elected trustees serve terms of one to five years (determined by lot), replaces previous term rules for trustees elected before 1995, and prohibits trustees from having conflicts of interest (e.g., being a current or recent hospital employee). The bill clarifies the board's authority to manage hospital funds, operations, and contracts - including leasing facilities with county commission approval in certain counties - while requiring reimbursement for expenses only with board approval. These changes directly affect public hospital boards, county commissions, and hospital staff in counties operating public hospitals.
