Bill > S01119

This bill amends the Town Law and the Public Officers Law to authorize the town justice of the town of Rushford, in Allegany County, to be a non-resident of the town. Typically, a town justice must be an elector (eligible voter) of the town, but this bill creates an exception for the town of Rushford, allowing the town justice to reside in any town within Allegany County. However, the bill specifies that this exception only applies to the town of Rushford, and town justices in other towns must still be residents of the town they serve, unless otherwise provided by law.
