(3) The authority shall refer all amendments proposed under paragraph (1) to the association, the management association, and any other organization interested in transit issues in the North Lake Tahoe region for comment and recommendations, prior to adoption of those amendments and not less than 45 days prior to the effective date of the amendments.
