Bill > S09232

This bill extends the term length for certain commissioners of deeds, who are officials appointed to administer oaths and take acknowledgments of deeds, from two years to four years. This change applies to commissioners appointed by city common councils, with specific provisions for cities located in counties with populations between 180,000 and 650,000, where the term will now expire on the December 31st of the second even-numbered year after appointment, and the number of commissioners will be determined every other even-numbered year for the next four years. The bill also specifically authorizes the council of the city of New York to appoint commissioners of deeds for a four-year term.
