Ligi HB No. 1015
Abstract: Specifies that only one member of the La. Motor Vehicle Commission must
come from each of the eight commission districts, instead of at least two from each.
Present law provides for 18 members of the La. Motor Vehicle Commission, 14 appointed
such that at least one, but no more than two, be from eight commission districts providing
for geographic representation throughout the state. Requires, from these 14 members, one
member to be primarily engaged in the business of lease or rental, one member primarily
engaged in the business of sales finance, one member to be primarily engaged in the business
of heavy truck sales, and three members to be primarily engaged in the business of
recreational products. Provides that the remaining three members be from the public from
the state at large and not licensees under the La. Motor Vehicle Commission.
Proposed law retains present law except requires only one be appointed from each of the
eight commission districts, instead of allowing two from each district.
