Bill > H333

This bill modifies the composition of the auto damage appraiser licensing board within the division of occupational licensure. Currently consisting of seven members, the board will now have members appointed by the governor and the attorney general, with specific requirements for representation. The governor will appoint two members from the auto body repair industry and two from insurance companies, while the attorney general will appoint one representative from their office and one consumer representative unaffiliated with auto body shops or insurance companies. The commissioner of the division of occupational licensure will appoint a chair who is not affiliated with the auto body or insurance industries. The bill also establishes term limits, specifying that no member can serve more than two consecutive three-year terms, and requires that vacancies be filled within 60 days. This change aims to ensure diverse and balanced representation on the board, with members from different sectors and perspectives overseeing the licensing of auto damage appraisers.
