Introduced by Sen. Patricia Birkholz (R) on May 10, 2007, to eliminate the requirement that the governor make certain appointments to the grape and wine industry council, which expends assessments levied on growers. Instead, they would be made by the director of Department of Agriculture (who is hired and can be fired by the governor).
Referred to the Senate Agriculture and Bioeconomy Committee on May 10, 2007.
