On its way to the governor is a bill to provide a variance for a deputy registrar office.
Sponsored by Rep. Laura Brod (R-New Prague) and Sen. Kevin Dahle (DFL-Northfield), HF3128/SF2755* was passed sans discussion 131-0 by the House April 14. It was passed 65-0 by the Senate March 19.
The bill is needed because the State Bank of New Prague is moving four blocks to a new location; however, in doing so it crosses from Scott County to Le Sueur County. The bank has been providing deputy registrar services in the area for years, but because state law does not allow a deputy registrar office to move across a county line without a revision, the bill provides for one. The office move must take place by the end of the year.
