AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to change the composition of the auto damage appraiser licensing board. The bill increases the number of board members from five to seven, with the governor appointing two members from the auto body repair industry and two members from insurance companies, the attorney general appointing one representative from their office and one additional person to represent consumers, and the commissioner of the division of occupational licensure appointing one person who is not affiliated with either the auto body industry or the insurance industry to serve as the board chair. The bill also limits board members to a maximum of two consecutive and complete three-year terms, and requires the board to be filled within 60 days of a vacancy.
