|
| | | 7.__Alternate members.__Alternates are empowered to hear cases | | and carry out other duties of the board when regular board | | members from the same category are unable or unwilling to carry | | out those duties.__The chair shall select alternate members to | | perform duties under this subsection. |
|
| | | This bill makes technical amendments to the Maine Motor | | Vehicle Franchise Board laws to provide for alternate members and | | to clarify that the board has adopted its own adjudicatory rules, | | which makes the board exempt from parallel Maine Administrative | | Procedure Act requirements. |
