BILL NUMBER: AB 1137 INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Harkey FEBRUARY 27, 2009 An act to amend Section 13995.47 of the Government Code, relating to California tourism. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1137, as introduced, Harkey. California tourism. Existing law requires the California Travel and Tourism Commission to establish one or more industry marketing advisory committees, which may include noncommissioners as members. The industry marketing advisory committees are required to be structured so that they include, to the maximum extent feasible and reasonable, representation from every geographic region of the state and every segment of the state's travel and tourism industry. The commission is required to establish procedures for the operation of the industry marketing advisory committees that will provide appropriate opportunity for every geographic region of the state and every segment of the travel and tourism industry to offer advice and recommendations to the commission relative to the development of its written marketing plan. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this provision. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
