Technical changes to the Explore Minnesota Tourism Council are made under a new law signed April 15 by Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Sponsored by Rep. Bud Nornes (R-Fergus Falls) and Sen. Mary Olson (DFL-Bemidji), the law removes the reference of “four” from the tourism marketing regions of the state that have representatives on the council.
John Edman, director of Explore Minnesota Tourism, said the change is merely a housekeeping bill. When the council was created it had four regions, now it’s expanded to five regions, he said.
The law takes effect Aug. 1, 2010.
