Expands the exemption for concessions at county zoos, botanic gardens, or county parks that are designated by the respective county director of parks and recreation, in the director's sole discretion, as environmentally, culturally, historically, or operationally unique; provided that the concessions are awarded to responsible offerors whose proposals are the most advantageous, rather than solely to certain nonprofit corporations.
