(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply to new criteria including criteria for fees for the issuance of an entertainment-related permit, as defined by ordinance, or other permit or license that must be granted or determination that must be made for a music or cultural event or other entertainment event to take place, if the permit, license, or determination is under the jurisdiction of the Interdepartmental Staff Committee on Traffic and Transportation (ISCOTT), the Arts Commission, Grants for the Arts, the charitable trust departments, the California Academy of Sciences, the Library Commission, the Port Commission, or the Recreation and Park Commission. To the extent any of these entities hold a public hearing on said new criteria, the entity shall notify the Entertainment Commission of the public hearing and afford the Entertainment Commission and/or its Executive Director or his or her designee an opportunity to testify at the hearing. This subsection (b) shall not preclude the Entertainment Commission or any other City official, board, commission, department, or other entity from holding its own hearing on new criteria for permits, licenses, or determinations under the jurisdiction of the entities named in subsection (b).
