Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill H 3973 modify the governance structure of the Greenville Health System Board of Trustees by adjusting the process for appointing members. Specifically, the changes clarify that the number of board members can range from 12 to 17, with any increase beyond 12 requiring approval from the Greenville County Legislative Delegation. This matters because it establishes a clear protocol for membership and ensures that local representatives have a say in who serves on the board, promoting accountability and local involvement in healthcare governance.
