Bill > S06439

This bill addresses a historical documentation issue for the Village of Nelliston in Montgomery County, New York. The legislation provides official recognition of the village's incorporation status, which dates back to 1878 under a law passed in 1870. The bill explains that the original incorporation documents were lost in a fire in the late 1800s, and at the time of incorporation, there was no statutory requirement to file incorporation documents with the state. As a result, the bill directs the Secretary of State to issue a new certificate of incorporation to the Village of Nelliston, formally verifying its status as an incorporated village since 1878. This certificate will be filed and kept by the Department of State in accordance with village law, effectively creating an official record of the village's long-standing legal status. The act is designed to retroactively validate the village's incorporation and ensure proper documentation of its municipal existence.
