The bill amends the Convention and Tourism Promotion Act by updating definitions and clarifying the roles of various entities involved in promoting tourism and convention business in Michigan. Key changes include the definition of "Director," which now refers to the director of the Bureau of Fair Competition and Free Enterprise instead of the chief executive officer of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. Additionally, the term "Marketing program" has been revised to specify that it includes any service or activity aimed at attracting transient guests to the assessment district.

Other notable amendments include the clarification of terms such as "transient facility," which is defined as a building with 35 or more rooms for transient guests, and the adjustment of language regarding the inclusion of certain charges in "room charge." The bill also stipulates that it will not take effect unless Senate Bill No. 631 is enacted into law. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the effectiveness of tourism promotion efforts in Michigan.
