(SB 58 becomes law)....The bill was submitted by State Senator Steve Padilla.

Earlier this month the Governor signed the bill into law. The bill makes appointed members of the Imperial Valley Healthcare District eligible to run for their office. The current board members are all appointed. The bill would allow the current appointed members to be elected to the position they hold, if they choose. The first elections would be in 2026 and 2028 depending on their current terms.
