Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the town law and the public officers law, in relation to authorizing the assistant court clerk and fire marshal of the town of Harrison, county of Westchester, to be nonresidents of such town

AI Summary

This bill specifically amends the town law and public officers law to create a unique exception for the town of Harrison in Westchester County, allowing the assistant court clerk and fire marshal to be nonresidents of the town, provided they reside in another town within Westchester County. Currently, most municipal positions require an individual to be a resident of the town where they work, but this bill creates a specific carve-out for Harrison that would permit these two positions to be filled by individuals living elsewhere in the county. The bill emphasizes that this exception applies only to Harrison, and for all other towns in New York, the standard residency requirements for assistant court clerks and fire marshals remain in effect. By making this change, the bill provides flexibility for the town of Harrison in hiring these specific municipal employees, potentially expanding their candidate pool while maintaining a local county-level connection through the Westchester County residency requirement.
