TION NO. 48 proposing an
Amendment to Article IX of
the Constitution of the State
of Texas, providing the meth-
od and manner for dissolution
of hospital districts created
under Article IX of the Con-
stitution.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
LEGISLATURE OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS:
Section 1. That Section 9,
Article IX of the Constitution
of the State of Texas be
amended to read as follows:
“Section 9. The Legislature
may by law provide for the
creation, establishment, main-
tenance and operation of hos-
pital districts composed of one
or more counties or all or any
' part of one or more counties
with power to issue bonds for
the purchase, construction, ac-
quisition, repair or renovation
of buildings and improvements
and equipping same, for hos-
pital purposes; providing for
the transfer to the hospital
district of the title to any
land, buildings, improvements
and equipment located wholly
within the district which may
be jointly or separately owned
by any city, town or county,
providing that any district so
created shall assume full re-
sponsibility for providing
• medical and hospital care for
its needy inhabitants and as-
sume the outstanding indebt-
edness incurred by cities,
towns and counties for hos-
pital purposes prior to the
creation of the district, if
same are located wholly with-
in its boundaries, and a pro
rata portion of such indebted-
ness based upon the then last
approved tax assessment rolls
of the included cities, towns
and counties if less than all
the territory thereof is includ-
ed within the district bound-
aries; providing that after its
creation no other municipality
or political subdivision shall
have the power to levy taxes
or issue bonds or other obli-
gations for hospital purposes
or for providing medical care
within the boundaries of the
district; providing for the levy
of annual taxes at a rate not
to exceed seventy-five cents
(75c) on the One Hundred
Dollar valuation of all taxable
property within such district
for the purpose of meeting
the requirements of the dis-
trict’s bonds, the indebtedness
assumed by it and its main-
tenance and operating ex-
penses, providing that such
district shall not be created
or such tax authorized unless
approved by a majority of the
qualified property taxpaying
electors thereof voting at an
election called for the pur-
pose; and providing further
that the support and mainte-
nance of the district’s hospi-
tal system shall never become
a charge against or obligation
of the State of Texas nor
shall any direct appropriation
be made by the Legislature
for the consh-uction, mainte-
nance or improvement of any
of the facilities of such dis-
trict.
Provided, however, that no
district shall be created ex-
cept by act of the Legislature
and then only after thirty
(30) days’ public notice to the
district affected, and in no
event may the Legislature
provide for a district to be
created without the affirma-
tive vote of a majority of the
taxpaying voters in the dis-
trict concerned.
The Legislature may also
provide for the dissolution of
hospital districts provided that
a process is afforded by stat-
ute for:
(1) determining the desire
of a majority of the qualified
voters within the district to
dissolve it;
(2) disposing of or trans-
ferring the assets, if any, of :
the district; and
(3) satisfying the debts and j
bond obligations, if any, of the
district, in such manner as to ,
protect the interest of the (
citizens within the district, in-
cluding their collective prop-
erty rights in the assets and
property of the district, pro-
vided, however, that any grant
from federal funds, however
dispensed, shall be considered
an obligation to be repaid in
satisfaction and provided that
no election to dissolve shall
be held more often than once
each year. In such connection,
the statute shall provide
against disposal or transfer of
the assets of the district ex-
cept for due compensation un-
less such assets are transferred
to another governmental agen-
cy, such as a county, embra-
cing such district and using
such transferred assets in such
a way as to benefit citizens
formerly within the district.
