Bill Summary

Stearns county recorder office appointive authorization

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Stearns County Board of Commissioners to make the office of the county recorder an appointed position, rather than an elected one. The bill outlines the process for the county board to adopt a resolution to make the office appointive, including requirements for public notice, a public comment period, and a supermajority vote of the board. The bill also provides a process for reverting the office back to an elected position after at least three years. The bill specifies that any incumbent in the office at the time it is made appointive must serve out their term or until a vacancy occurs. The effective date of the bill is contingent on the county board complying with state law regarding the filing of the resolution.
