Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the village law and the public officers law, in relation to qualifications to hold the position of assistant village engineer in the village of Croton-on-Hudson
AI Summary
This bill amends the village law and public officers law to specifically allow the village of Croton-on-Hudson to appoint an assistant village engineer who does not live within the village itself, but instead requires that such a person reside within Westchester County, an adjoining county in New York State, or Dutchess County. Currently, many local government positions require the officeholder to be a resident of the specific municipality, but this bill creates an exception for the assistant village engineer position in Croton-on-Hudson. The bill provides the village board of trustees the ability to pass a resolution permitting this residency flexibility, which could help the village attract qualified candidates who may live in nearby areas but are not direct village residents. The bill includes a provision that clarifies this exception is specific to Croton-on-Hudson and does not automatically apply to other municipal positions or municipalities. The legislation will take effect immediately upon passage.
