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 modifies existing New York state law to allow the village of Croton-on-Hudson to appoint an assistant village engineer who does not live directly within the village's boundaries, but instead permits the candidate to reside in Westchester County, an adjoining county within New York state, or Dutchess County. Specifically, the bill amends both the village law and public officers law to create an exception to typical residency requirements for municipal positions. The bill ensures that while the assistant village engineer does not need to be a Croton-on-Hudson resident, they must still live relatively close to the village in a nearby county. This change provides the village's board of trustees with more flexibility in hiring an assistant engineer by expanding the potential pool of qualified candidates while maintaining a geographic proximity requirement. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the village to implement this new hiring approach right away.
