Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the village law, in relation to filling vacancies in elective offices in villages with November elections
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Village Law to specify how vacancies in elective offices will be filled for villages that conduct their elections on the same day as the general election (November elections). Under the proposed change, such vacancies would be filled according to subdivision one of section forty-two of the Public Officers Law. In practical terms, this means that when an elected village position becomes vacant in a village that holds its elections in November, the method for filling that vacancy will be standardized and determined by the provisions of the referenced section of the Public Officers Law. This amendment provides clarity and a consistent process for replacing elected officials in these specific types of villages, ensuring that local government can continue to function effectively when an unexpected vacancy occurs.
