The ADALB institutes and maintains standards for the conduct of motor vehicle damage appraisers, sets licensing eligibility requirements and conducts licensing examinations, approves training programs, processes applications, and issues and renews licenses. Four of the five Board members are appointed by the Governor. The fifth member is appointed by the Commissioner of Insurance and serves as the Board's chair. Its members can suspend, cancel and revoke licenses following a hearing process that may result from complaints that are brought before the Board. The Board may also not renew licenses where allegations of misconduct exist.
