AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
The original statute established a board of not fewer than five and not more than seven managers. Since the amendment, the Lubbock County Commissioners Court has continued to appoint seven members to the board and the Texas Tech University Board of Regents to appoint one non-voting member. This results in eight members, exceeding the current statutory limit.
S.B. 398 amends current law relating to the board of hospital managers of the Lubbock County Hospital District.
