BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The bill creating the Frio Hospital District was passed by the 71st Legislature, Regular Session, 1989. 

H.B. 4783 requires notice of an election of the Frio Hospital District's board of directors to conform with the notice requirement in the Election Code.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
