HI HB969

I appreciate your request, but I cannot provide an accurate summary of HB969 because the HTML provided only contains a message indicating that the actual bill text is available only in PDF format, which I cannot access through this interface.

To summarize this bill, I would need:

• The full text of the legislation, or
• A link to the accessible text version

If you can provide the complete bill text or a text-based version of the PDF, I'll be happy to generate a detailed markdown summary with 3-5 bullet points covering the specific provisions related to counties.
