Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Fair board members now choose Chair

In counties with 100,000 to under 700,000 people, the fair and recreation board elects its own Chair. Any board member may serve as Chair. Cities or the county no longer control who can be Chair.

New appointment rules for mid-sized county fair boards

In counties with 100,000 to under 700,000 people, the fair and recreation board stays at nine members. Three seats are still picked by the county commission, the largest city, and the next largest city. Those three must be members of their own bodies, and their board terms end when their public office ends. The other six seats are now chosen by the board itself from set lists. One must represent air service from airport authority nominees who are not elected officers. One must represent tourism, resort hotel, or other commercial interests from the largest city’s chamber of commerce. One must represent other business or commercial interests, including gaming, from a visitor’s bureau that receives lodging tax, or if none exists, from the chamber of commerce of the third largest township. Three must represent gaming from nominees of the association whose members paid the most gross revenue fees to the State last year; if no such association exists, three gaming representatives are appointed. If the board rejects a nominee list, it must request a new list. These six serve two-year terms and may be reappointed once. If a member leaves the business they represent, the seat is vacated and the original appointing authority fills the rest of the term.
