Boards of Supervisors; authorize to designate persons to serve as hearing officers for delinquent solid waste fees.

The bill was amended to clarify the language regarding who may serve as a hearing officer for disputes over delinquent solid waste fees. The original version allowed the board of supervisors to designate a hearing officer from its own membership, county staff, or other qualified impartial persons. The revised version removes the specific list of eligible sources and replaces it with the phrase 'disinterested individual,' while maintaining the same restrictions that the hearing officer cannot be the board's attorney, tax collector staff, have a conflict of interest, or be related to board members or the person owing fees. This change appears to be a stylistic clarification rather than a substantive policy shift, as the practical eligibility criteria remain effectively the same.
