Summary

Any bank works, not just one inside the district.

The bill lets the West Coke County Hospital District board pick any bank as its depository, not just a bank located inside the district. It touches the district's board and the banks that could hold its money. On the ground, the district can move its money to a bank outside its boundaries.
