The bill amends the Convention and Tourism Marketing Act by updating definitions and clarifying terms used within the legislation. Key insertions include a new definition for "assessment," which refers to the amount levied against owners of transient facilities based on room charges, and a revised definition for "bureau," which now specifies that it must be a nonprofit corporation promoting convention business and tourism with certain membership and operational criteria. Additionally, the term "director" is updated to refer to the director of the bureau of fair competition and free enterprise, rather than the president of the Michigan strategic fund.

Several terms have been redefined or clarified, such as "assessment district," which is now specified as a county with a population over 1.5 million, and "transient facility," which is defined as a building with 29 or more rooms for transient guests. The bill also includes a stipulation that it will not take effect unless another related Senate Bill is enacted into law. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the existing tourism marketing framework in Michigan.
