It is the intent of the Legislature to vitalize the California Exposition and State Fair by creating a new entity in state government managed by a board of directors with sufficient autonomy for efficient operation balanced by appropriate state oversight. The board of directors shall develop a policy which provides managerial and fiscal responsibility and shall work towards a goal of fiscal independence from state General Fund support. The board of directors shall develop a policy which provides for an innovative program including the concept of an agriculturally themed exposition which would communicate the issues surrounding the production and marketing of food, fiber, and plant material to the general public and such other concepts as are feasible.
