Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Board of Supervisors of Orange County may abolish the office of road commissioner if the board of supervisors transfers all duties of the road commissioner to an environmental management agency. The director of such environmental management agency shall not be required to have any special permit, registration, or license. Any civil engineering functions which are required to be performed by the road commissioner shall be performed by a registered civil engineer acting under the authority of the director of such agency.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that this section, applicable only to Orange County, is necessary because of the unique and special problems of county road management in Orange County due to the extent of municipal incorporation found in the county.
