Sacramento, CA – The California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA) today announced its strong support for AB 420, a bill introduced by Assembly Members Sharon Quirk Silva<\/a>(D-Buena Park) and Suzette Valladares<\/a> (R-Santa Clarita) that will place all theme parks in the \u201cOrange – Moderate – Tier 3\u201d of the state\u2019s COVID-19 Industry Guidance for Amusement Parks and Theme Parks.  The guidance in Governor Newsom\u2019s Blueprint for a Safer Economy currently restricts theme parks from reopening until the county they are located  in achieves the \u201cYellow – Minimal – Tier 4.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe deeply appreciate Assembly Members Quirk-Silva and Valladares for their leadership and for introducing legislation on Safe Theme Park Reopening,\u201d said Erin Guerrero, Executive Director, California Attractions and Parks Association<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorldwide, theme parks have proven they can reopen responsibly while protecting the health of guests and staff. Science and data show it can be done. California should allow theme parks to reopen responsibly in the Orange – Moderate – Tier 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNearly a year after parks closed in response to the pandemic, tens of thousands of employees remain out of work, while local businesses, communities surrounding theme parks, and local governments face ongoing negative consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCOVID transmission rates are improving and the vaccination distribution is underway, yet California\u2019s major theme parks have no timeline and no realistic pathway toward reopening if left in the \u2018Yellow- Minimal – Tier 4\u2019 of state guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCalifornia\u2019s iconic theme parks are important economic drivers for the state and local regions. AB 420  is needed so theme parks can plan to reopen responsibly and  get back to contributing to the economic recovery of our state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
