Bill > A06953

This bill amends the general city law to modify the residency requirements for plumbing inspectors specifically in the city of Rochester. Currently, plumbing inspectors in most cities must be citizens and residents of the city where they are appointed. The bill changes this requirement for Rochester, stipulating that plumbing inspectors must be citizens and actual residents of the county in which the city is located, rather than the city itself. This means that plumbing inspectors for Rochester can live anywhere within the county where Rochester is situated, providing a slightly broader pool of potential candidates while still maintaining a local residency requirement. The bill also makes a minor technical change to replace the term "aldermen" with "alderpersons" in the text of the law. The change takes effect immediately upon passage.
