Summary

The law gives county executives in non‑consolidated counties authority to set the county administrator’s salary, require a written personnel policy, and must approve large park‑district actions. It also creates a tourism‑industry commission and a community‑corrections advisory board, and changes how appointed board members can be removed. The changes aim to improve local oversight and coordination while limiting public access to certain officials’ home addresses.
