BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 77th Legislature, the assistant administrator of the Ector
County Hospital District (district) was appointed by and served at the will
of the board of directors of the district.  House Bill 298 provides that
any assistant administrators are appointed by and serve at the will of the
administrator of the district.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 298 amends law to authorize the administrator of the Ector
County Hospital District, rather than the board of directors, to appoint
one or more qualified assistant administrators to serve at the will of the
administrator. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

June 15, 2001.
