permitted on commission web sites, electronic social media, and printed
materials within or outside of state parks.

limited to, the entity's ability to manage financial operating costs,
to adequately perform management responsibilities, and to address and
respond to public concerns. The agreement must provide that failure to
meet any performance measure may lead to the termination of the
contract or requirements for remedial action to be taken before the
agreement may be extended.

79A.05.345 or this section does not include the ability to rename any
