BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 331.02, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [PUBLICATION; SUSPENSION, CHANGE OF DATE OR 
PLACE.] Suspension of publication for a period of not more than 
three consecutive months resulting from the destruction of its 
known office of issue, equipment or other facility by the 
elements, unforeseen accident, or acts of God, or by reason of a 
labor dispute or financial difficulties, shall not affect the 
qualification of a newspaper which has become or remains a 
medium of official and legal publication pursuant to 
subdivisions 1 and 2; nor shall the consolidation of one 
newspaper with another published in the same county, nor any 
change in the name or ownership thereof, or the temporary change 
in the known office of issue, disqualify a newspaper or 
invalidate any publication continuously made therein, before and 
after the change; and any change of the day of publication, the 
frequency of publication, or the change of the known office of 
issue from one place to another within the same county shall not 
deprive any such publication of its standing as a medium of 
official and legal publication, or its designation as the 
official newspaper for the publication of the proceedings of any 
county board.  Except as herein otherwise provided, suspension 
of publication, or any change of known office of issue from one 
county to another county, or failure to maintain its known 
office of issue in the county, shall deprive a newspaper of its 
standing as a medium of official and legal publication until 
such newspaper shall again have become qualified pursuant to the 
provisions of subdivision 1 of this section. 
   Sec. 2.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
   Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment.
