AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Officers Law to establish residency requirements for police officers in New York. Specifically, it provides that beginning January 1, 2024, no person shall be appointed as a paid member of any police force unless they have resided in the political subdivision or municipal corporation for which they will be chosen for at least one year prior to being appointed and continue to reside there.
