Relating to the selection by the board of directors of the West Coke County Hospital District of a depository bank for the district.

HB 2379 modifies Texas law to allow the West Coke County Hospital District board of directors to select any bank (not limited to those within the district) as the official depository for district funds. The bill amends Section 1112.155(a) of the Special District Local Laws Code to remove the previous requirement that depository banks must be located "in the district." This procedural change directly affects the West Coke County Hospital District's financial management practices. The bill requires a two-thirds vote for immediate effect or takes effect September 1, 2025, if not passed with that threshold.
