Bill Summary
Towing advisory boards; membership. Changes the membership of a towing advisory board appointed by a local governing body to an equal number of representatives of local law-enforcement agencies, representatives of licensed towing and recovery operators, and members of the general public, specifies that such membership requirements apply to voting members, and provides that vacancies of members of the general public shall not prevent the advisory board from meeting or taking any authorized action. Under current law, the membership of such towing advisory boards consists of an equal number of representatives of local law-enforcement agencies and representatives of licensed towing and recovery operators and one member of the general public. The bill removes the requirement for the chairmanship of a towing advisory board to rotate between certain representatives and the one year term limit for such chairmanship.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the membership of towing advisory boards, which are appointed by local governing bodies to provide advice on local ordinances related to towing and recovery services. Previously, these boards were composed of an equal number of representatives from local law-enforcement agencies and licensed towing and recovery operators, with only one member from the general public. The proposed changes will ensure that these advisory boards have an equal number of representatives from local law-enforcement agencies, licensed towing and recovery operators, and members of the general public, thereby increasing public representation on these important boards.
