Summary

The bill changes North Carolina law so that each hospital authority must have at least four public members who are not health‑care providers or related to them, and at least four local elected officials from within the authority’s area. It also creates initial one‑ and two‑year terms for the first appointees to produce staggered three‑year terms, and earmarks $50,000 to help authorities meet the new rules. The changes apply to all hospital authorities, but those already meeting the composition requirements are exempt from adding new commissioners.
