Special election timing modified.
HF 2596 modifies Minnesota Statutes section 375.20 to change the maximum timeframe for holding special county elections on ballot questions. Specifically, it increases the deadline from 74 to 84 days after a county board passes a resolution calling for the election. This bill directly affects county boards that must schedule special elections for questions involving funding, debt, or taxes. The change only alters the procedural timing for these elections and does not affect the content or requirements of the ballot questions themselves.
