FISCAL EFFECT:
Likely cost savings as a result of program eliminations.
COMMENTS:
1)Background and purpose. According to the author, fairs have
endured financial hardships since the state cut their funding
in 2010. Repealing the requirements for an annual report on
courtesy passes would alleviate some of the cost pressure to
fairs. Since January 1, 2012, California fairs have depended
on self-generated revenues to operate.
