Latest Text Digest

Existing law establishes the Fairs Allocation and Classification Committee, which consists of 14 members of the Legislature. Existing law requires the committee to, among other things, seek methods whereby private financing can be secured for support of all local fairs, regularly review the capability of the Department of Food and Agriculture to administer and supervise the allocation of moneys from the Fair and Exposition Fund to all local fairs, and make recommendations to the Legislature regarding the establishment of new district agricultural associations or local fairs.

This bill would revise those requirements on the committee to instead require the committee to seek methods whereby private financing can be secured for support of all state-designated fairgrounds, rather than local fairs, regularly review the capability of the department to administer and supervise the allocation of moneys from the fund to all state-designated fairgrounds, rather than local fairs, and make recommendations to the Legislature regarding the establishment of new state-designated fairgrounds, rather than new district agricultural associations or local fairs.
