This bill modifies the unclassified service and appointment provisions for St. Louis County, Minnesota, and removes an obsolete county appropriation for historical work. The key changes include:

1. Amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, Section 383C.035:

   • Defines which county officers and employees belong to the "unclassified service."
   • Expands the unclassified service to include department heads, deputy directors, a legislative lobbyist/grant coordinator, three administrative assistants in the county administrator’s office, and all court bailiffs.
   • Specifies that all other county positions are part of the "classified service."

2. Repeal of Certain Sections of Minnesota Statutes 2024:

   • Section 383C.07: Removes the rule that required all lay members appointed by the county board to boards or commissions in St. Louis County to serve three-year terms.
   • Section 383C.74 (Subdivisions 1-4): Eliminates provisions allowing the St. Louis County Board to appropriate up to $2,500 annually for historical work through a designated local historical society.

These changes streamline the governance structure of St. Louis County and eliminate outdated financial appropriations.
