Official statutory text

The Legislature declares that some individuals appointed as members of the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection are required to be chosen from backgrounds in the forest products and range livestock industries in order to represent and further the interests of those industries and that this representation and furtherance serves the general public interest, as specified in Section 731. Accordingly, the Legislature finds that, for purposes of persons who hold that office, the forest products and the range livestock industries are tantamount to and constitute the public generally within the meaning of Section 87103 of the Government Code in those decisions affecting the forest products or range livestock industries, unless the results of their actions taken as board members have a material financial effect on them distinguishable from their effect on other members of their respective industries generally.
