What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the chief executive officer of a city or a village or the county executive

or chairperson of the county board of supervisors (the appointing authority) appoints

members to the local board of health, subject to the approval of the governing body

of the county, city, or village. The local board of health is required under current law

to consist of not more than nine members, at least three of which must be community

members who have a demonstrated interest or competence in public or community

health. In appointing those community members, the appointing authority must

make a good faith effort to appoint a registered nurse and a physician. This bill

allows the appointing authority to appoint a physician assistant, advanced practice

registered nurse, or both instead if it is unable to find a willing registered nurse,

physician, or both.
