This bill modifies the unclassified service and appointment provisions for St. Louis County by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 383C.035. The changes include the removal of the provision that allowed for two full-time equivalent clerical employees serving the county board and administrator, and the addition of a legislative lobbyist/grant coordinator position appointed by the county board. The bill also clarifies the roles within the unclassified service, which includes various county officers, employees, and specific positions such as assistant county attorneys and court bailiffs.

Additionally, the bill repeals several obsolete statutes, specifically Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 383C.07 and 383C.74, subdivisions 1 through 4. These repealed sections included provisions regarding the terms of office for lay members appointed to boards and commissions in St. Louis County, as well as an appropriation for promoting historical work within the county, which is now deemed unnecessary.
