Relating to the Kimble County Hospital District of Kimble County, Texas.
HB 2658 amends Texas Special District Local Laws Code to update governance and operational rules for Kimble County Hospital District. It reduces the residency requirement for board members from two to one year, removes the requirement for directors to post a $1,000 bond, and clarifies the district’s duty to provide hospital services through facilities like outpatient clinics, skilled nursing centers, and community health centers. The bill also adjusts budget preparation procedures, requiring annual budgets detailing expenditures, revenue estimates, and tax needs. These changes directly affect Kimble County residents who rely on the district’s healthcare services and the board members governing it. The legislation focuses on administrative clarity without creating new funding mechanisms or altering service eligibility.
