The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  The successors to those two trustees of Smithville Township's J. Arthur Dosher Memorial Hospital, whose terms of office should have expired in 1981 pursuant to G.S. 131- 7, shall be elected in 1983, under the provisions of G.S. 131-7, and the two persons elected shall serve for a term of four years. Thereafter, successors to these two positions shall be elected for terms of six years.  Those two incumbents whose terms should have expired in 1981 shall hold office until the 1983 election, and until their successors are elected and qualified.  In the 1983 election, the three candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall serve six-year terms for those positions expiring in 1983 and the two candidates receiving the next highest number of votes shall serve four-year terms for those positions which should have expired in 1981.

Sec. 2.  All actions of the Board of Trustees of Smithville Township's J.  Arthur Dosher Memorial Hospital which are otherwise valid, but which may be questioned due to the failure to elect two successor trustees in 1981 pursuant to G.S. 131-7, are hereby declared valid, affirmed and ratified.

Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 6th day of June, 1983.
