This bill modifies the unclassified service and appointment provisions for St. Louis County by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 383C.035. The amendments include the removal of the term "two" in reference to the number of county administrators, changing it to a singular "administrator." Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that allows for the appointment of a legislative lobbyist/grant coordinator by the county board, who will act as a liaison with the St. Louis County legislative delegation and pursue legislative concerns and grant opportunities for the county.

Furthermore, the bill repeals sections 383C.07 and 383C.74 of Minnesota Statutes 2024, which included provisions regarding the terms of office for lay members appointed to boards and commissions, as well as an obsolete county appropriation for historical work. The repeal of these sections indicates a shift away from certain historical funding practices and governance structures within the county, streamlining the legal framework governing local government operations in St. Louis County.
