Bill > A07287

This bill amends the New York Town Law and Public Officers Law to specifically allow the assistant court clerk and fire marshal of the town of Harrison in Westchester County to be nonresidents of the town, provided they reside in another town within Westchester County. Typically, local government positions require employees to be residents of the specific town where they work, but this bill creates an exception for these two positions in Harrison. The legislation maintains the general residency requirement for similar positions in other towns across New York, ensuring that this is a narrow, location-specific exemption. By allowing nonresident employees for these roles, the bill provides the town of Harrison more flexibility in hiring qualified personnel for the assistant court clerk and fire marshal positions, potentially expanding their candidate pool while still maintaining a local county-level residency requirement.
