NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION

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.
