The bill amends the Regional Convention and Tourism Promotion Act by updating definitions and clarifying terms used within the legislation. Key changes include the definition of "assessment," which now specifies that it is calculated based on a five-year assessment period, and the term "marketing program," which has been revised to emphasize that it includes any service or activity aimed at attracting transient guests to the assessment district. Additionally, the definition of "director" has been updated to refer to the director of the bureau of fair competition and free enterprise, replacing the previous reference to the chief executive officer of the Michigan economic development corporation.

Other notable changes include the definition of "municipality," which now specifies criteria based on population and geographic borders, and the term "transient facility," which clarifies that it does not include hospitals or nursing homes. The bill also renames the Michigan travel bureau to "Travel Michigan" and includes a provision stating that the amendments will only take effect if Senate Bill No. 631 is enacted into law. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the law governing regional convention and tourism promotion in Michigan.
