Under existing law, any Class 1 municipality is authorized to establish a racing commission under certain conditions. The members of the host county House legislative delegation and the host county Senate legislative delegation each appoint one member to the commission. The host county legislative delegations are defined to include only members of each delegation whose district is composed of all or a majority of residents of the host county. When a vacancy occurs on the commission in the position of a member appointed by the host county legislative delegations, the mayor of the sponsoring municipality calls the meeting to make the appointment to fill the vacancy.
This bill would provide that the host county House and Senate delegations would consist of all members of the respective House and Senate host county legislative delegations. The bill would also provide that the chair of the House or Senate host county legislative delegation would call a meeting to fill a vacancy.
