The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 375.20, which pertains to the timing of special elections related to ballot questions. Specifically, it modifies the timeframe within which a special county election must be held after the county board adopts a resolution to call for such an election. The previous requirement of holding the election within 74 days has been increased to 84 days.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing procedures for submitting ballot questions, including the requirement for the question to be clearly stated and for the election to be conducted in accordance with established election laws. The county auditor is tasked with posting and publishing notices of the election following the adoption of the resolution, ensuring that the process remains transparent and compliant with statutory requirements.
