AN ACT TO MODIFY THE LAW REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS OF HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 131E-18(g) reads as rewritten:
"(g)	For a county with a population of less than 77,000, according to the most recent decennial federal census, the following exceptions to the provisions of this section shall apply:
(1)	 The commissioners shall be appointed by the county board of commissioners rather than the chairman of the county board of commissioners;
(2)	 In making appointments under subsection (d) of this section, the county board of commissioners shall consider the nominations of the commissioners of the authority, but the county board of the commissioners is not bound by the nominations and may choose any qualified person.
The foregoing exceptions shall not apply when a county with a population of less than 77,000 jointly establishes a hospital authority with a city."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
