NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)




 
BILL NUMBER: A6730
 
SPONSOR: Gray

 
TITLE OF BILL:
 
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to waiving the
residency requirement for any appointed public official in Jefferson
county
 
 
PURPOSE:
 
To waive the residency requirement for appointed public officials in the
county of Jefferson.
 
 
SUMMARY:
 
Section 1 amends the public officials law to remove the residency
requirement for public officials in the county of Jefferson, as so long
they are a resident of an adjacent county.
 
Section 2 provides the effective date.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:
 
Removing the residency requirement for public officials in the county of
Jefferson will allow the county to continue to employ highly qualified
and able public officials in order to best serve the residents of the
county. This change will expand the pool of qualified candidates while
the requirement that the county of residency be adjacent to Jefferson
county maintains proximity to Jefferson county.
 
 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
 
New Bill.
 
 
FISCAL IMPACT:
 
None.
 
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
