SF1246

The legislative bill S.F. No. 1246 is intended to adjust job classifications and remove outdated financial allocations within St. Louis County's government. It amends certain aspects of the Minnesota Statutes 2024. Specifically, the bill:

1. Updates the classifications for county jobs into "unclassified" and "classified" services:

   • Unclassified service includes elected officials, principal county administrative officers, certain nonpaid board or commission members, assistant county attorneys, special investigators, temporary common laborers, specific clerical positions, a legislative lobbyist/grant coordinator, department heads, and certain administrative assistants.
   • Classified service includes all other positions created now or in the future within the county.

2. Repeals obsolete sections of Minnesota Statutes:

   • Section 383C.07, which sets a three-year term for members appointed to any county board or commission.
   • Section 383C.74, which previously allowed the county board to allocate up to $2,500 each year for historical work within the county conducted by a historical society.

This bill essentially updates and streamlines county employment classifications and removes outdated funding provisions for historical projects in St. Louis County.
