The bill modifies the unclassified service and appointment provisions for St. Louis County by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 383C.035. It specifies the roles included in the unclassified service, such as various county officers, administrative positions, and legislative lobbyists, while removing the limit on the number of full-time equivalent clerical employees serving the county board and administrator. Additionally, the bill repeals sections 383C.07 and 383C.74, which included provisions regarding the terms of office for members of boards and commissions and an appropriation for historical work in St. Louis County.

The repeal of the historical work appropriation indicates a shift away from funding for historical initiatives within the county, which previously allowed for an annual appropriation of up to $2,500 for promoting historical work. This change reflects an effort to streamline county governance and eliminate outdated provisions that may no longer serve the current needs of St. Louis County.
