Plain-language change summary

The latest version of HB 1037 adds a new member from the division of travel and tourism development to the OHRV Commission and extends the commission's lifespan by an additional two years. Additionally, it has removed a previous requirement for a landowner representative to be appointed jointly by the Timberland Owners Association and the Farm Bureau. These changes could enhance the commission's focus on tourism while simplifying the membership structure, potentially allowing for more streamlined decision-making.
