Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public officers law, in relation to qualification to hold the position of assistant county attorney in the county of Rockland
AI Summary
This bill modifies the New York Public Officers Law to create a specific exception for non-resident assistant county attorneys in Rockland County. Currently, public officers are generally required to reside in the political subdivision where they work, but this bill allows an assistant county attorney for Rockland County to live in Rockland County, any county in the Ninth Judicial District of New York, New York City, or any adjoining county. The bill maintains the general residency requirement for assistant county attorneys in other counties, ensuring that this exception is specific to Rockland County. The purpose appears to be providing more flexibility in hiring for the Rockland County attorney's office by broadening the potential candidate pool geographically. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for immediate implementation of the new residency provisions.
