Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill H 403 now specifies that if a vacancy on the district board results in a loss of quorum, the governor must appoint a replacement to restore the quorum. This change is important because it ensures that there is always adequate representation on the board, allowing it to continue functioning effectively and make necessary decisions without delays due to insufficient members.
