| This legislation amends the law prohibiting counties from removing certain monuments from county property. Pursuant to this legislation, counties could relocate monuments honoring or recounting military service when necessary to build or expand buildings, roads and edifices. If possible, any relocation must be to a site of similar prominence, honor, visibility, availability and access within the county where the monument was originally located. Monuments may not be relocated to a museum, cemetery or mausoleum unless the monument was originally placed in such a location. Any person or entity "adversely affected" by a violation of this legislation may notify the county, which has 120 to rectify the violation or the person can seek injunctive relief through the courts. |

| This legislation makes several changes regarding the redemption of property on or after July 1, 2016, which has been sold under a tax execution. In the event that a tax sale purchaser has paid any sums to property owners', condominium, or owners' associations, then any person who subsequently redeems the property must repay such amounts to the tax sale purchaser in addition to the current statutory redemption amounts. This change would help the tax commissioner sell these properties at a tax sale. |

| This legislation requires employers, including counties, which offer sick leave to allow their employees to use their sick leave to care for members of their immediate family.
