Support for AB 1954 (Protecting Access to Reservations Act)
Long Beach
Summary
Third-party brokers currently resell tee times at municipal courses legally, driving up costs and making weekend tee times nearly impossible for regular golfers to book. AB 1954 would give cities like Long Beach a civil cause of action to stop the practice. The committee's letter is the first step in getting the Mayor and Council to formally endorse the bill.
