SB 2460 of 1974

Senate Bill 2460 (Bradley-1974) Chapter 1278, Statutes of 1974

The Enrolled Bill Memorandum to Governor provides the following digest of Senate Bill 2460:

Authorizes hospital districts to enter into contracts of employment with hospital administrators, not to exceed four years in duration, but which may be periodically renewed upon expiration for not more than four years. The bill becomes effective immediately.

(See Exhibit #5, document PE-2)

The letter from the sponsor of Senate Bill 2460, El Camino Hospital, to Senator Bradley explains the need for the legislation as follows:

At the present time it is not possible under the existing hospital district law for the Board to have a contract with an administrator, since it states that all employees should serve at the pleasure of the Board.

(See Exhibit #4, document SP-1)

This letter also states that the proposed language was modeled after Education Code section 13305. (See Exhibit #4, document SP-1)
