This bill modifies the unclassified service and appointment provisions for St. Louis County by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 383C.035. The amendment clarifies the composition of the unclassified service, which includes various county officers, employees, and specific positions such as legislative lobbyists and administrative assistants. Notably, the bill removes the provision that previously allowed for two full-time equivalent clerical employees serving the county board and administrator, now allowing for a total of nine such positions.

Additionally, the bill repeals sections 383C.07 and 383C.74 of Minnesota Statutes 2024, which contained provisions regarding the terms of office for lay members of boards and commissions and an appropriation for historical work in St. Louis County, respectively. The repeal of these sections indicates a shift away from the previously established funding for historical initiatives, which allowed for an annual appropriation of up to $2,500 for promoting historical work within the county.
