What this does not establish
- Only the Legistar legislation page was reviewed; the bill text beyond its title and opening recitals and the record of the 16 June 2026 meeting were not read.
- The Legistar page does not say why the bill was withdrawn or whether a later bill carried its terms forward.
Unresolved questions
- Whether a later Metropolitan Council bill carried forward the terms of BL2026-1438.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
