Existing law establishes the Olive Oil Commission of California and provides for the board of directors of the commission comprised of 10 voting members, as specified. Existing law further provides for an advisory committee to advise the commission board of directors, provides for the selection of the chair of the advisory committee by the members of the advisory committee, and specifies that the chair of the advisory committee shall be a nonvoting member of the commission board of directors. This bill would instead establish the chair of the advisory committee to be a member, rather than a nonvoting member, of the commission board of directors. The bill would also require the chair of the advisory committee to designate an alternate advisory committee member to serve in the chair's absence.
