Continues the nine-member bureau governance structure appointed by the mayor with city council confirmation, including representatives from hotels, restaurants, business, arts, education, attractions, and at-large members.

Retains provisions for tax collection through the Department of Revenue, with 3% retained for administrative costs and remaining proceeds dedicated solely to convention and tourism programs.

Preserves audit requirements, public records transparency, and restrictions on bureau employee conflicts of interest and unauthorized use of bureau vehicles.
