This bill amends the existing law governing county boards of commissioners in Michigan by adding a new section, 11f, which establishes a framework for the creation of a county towing and recovery authority board. The bill allows the county board of commissioners to create this board at the request of the county sheriff or the director of the county's emergency 9-1-1 district. The authority board will consist of various members, including representatives from law enforcement, towing service providers, and local government, and will be responsible for overseeing towing services within the county.

The bill outlines the appointment process for board members, their terms, and the procedures for conducting meetings and handling complaints against towing service providers. It specifies that the board must meet at least quarterly, maintain compliance with the Open Meetings Act, and report annually to the county board of commissioners. Additionally, the authority board is granted the power to create rules and procedures for towing service providers, establish complaint processes, and ensure that complaints are addressed within a specified timeframe. Members of the board will not receive compensation but may be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred while serving.
