Bill Summary

Stearns County; process for making county recorder office appointive provided.

AI Summary

This bill allows the Stearns County Board of Commissioners to make the county recorder's office an appointed position, rather than an elected one, if they pass a resolution with at least 80% approval. The resolution can take effect 60 days after adoption, unless a petition signed by at least 10% of registered voters calls for a referendum. The bill also allows the county board to revert the office back to an elected position after at least 3 years, either through a 60% resolution or a public vote. The bill provides a process for publishing the proposed changes, allowing public comment, and handling the transition between elected and appointed positions.
