6. Procedures. May appoint persons to be present at the

and

 
Sec. 5. 10 MRSA §1188, sub-§7 is enacted to read:

and carry out other duties of the board when regular board
members from the same category are unable or unwilling to carry

perform duties under this subsection.

 
SUMMARY

 
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.
