Bill > A02416

This bill amends the New York County Law to specifically designate the Hamilton County district attorney as a full-time position. The legislation modifies an existing law that previously applied to counties with populations over 100,000 and certain other counties where the board of supervisors had designated the district attorney role as full-time. The change means that the Hamilton County district attorney must now give their full attention to the duties of the office and is prohibited from practicing law, serving as an arbitrator, referee, or compensated mediator, or engaging in any other profession or business that would interfere with their responsibilities as district attorney. The language updates gender-specific pronouns to be more neutral and explicitly adds Hamilton County to the list of counties where the district attorney must work full-time. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
