AI Summary

  • Reduces Delaware Health Resources Board membership from 15 members (Chair, Vice Chair, and 13 others) to 11 members, all appointed by the Governor.

  • Changes appointment structure so the Chair is elected from public-at-large members and serves at the Governor's pleasure, while the Vice Chair is elected by the Board itself rather than appointed by the Governor.

  • Specifies that Board members serve terms of up to 3 years with staggered expiration dates, and allows the Governor to appoint members for less than 3 years to ensure staggered terms.

  • Defines membership composition to include representatives from healthcare, government, labor, insurance, and the public, with specific roles for each constituency group.

  • Updates quorum requirements to require a majority of members present (excluding vacant positions) and clarifies removal provisions for members absent from 3 consecutive meetings or attending less than 50% of annual meetings.
