An Act relative to the auto damage appraiser licensing board

The board will consist of seven members: four appointed by the governor (two from auto body repair, two from insurance), two appointed by the Attorney General (one from the AG's office, one from the industry), and one neutral chair appointed by the licensing commissioner. This board will oversee the licensing and regulation of auto damage appraisers in Massachusetts. The bill establishes specific appointment rules, including term limits and a requirement for balanced industry representation.
