Bill > S07271

This bill amends the Public Officers Law to require that in a city with a population of one million or more, any person appointed as a paid member of the police force must become a resident of any political subdivision or municipal corporation within that city within one year of their appointment and continue to reside there. The bill also removes an exception that previously allowed police officers in cities with less than one million population to reside outside the city as long as they were in the same or an adjacent county. The changes aim to establish stricter residency requirements for police officers in the largest cities in New York.
