Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the village law and public officers law, in relation to the residency of certain officers of the village of Washingtonville, Orange county
AI Summary
This bill modifies residency requirements for certain village officials in Washingtonville, New York, specifically the village clerk, deputy village clerk, village treasurer, and deputy village treasurer. Previously, these positions likely required residency within the village itself, but this legislation allows the village board of trustees to pass a resolution permitting these individuals to reside in either the county where Washingtonville is located (Orange County) or an adjoining county within New York State, rather than strictly within the village. The bill also clarifies that this exception applies only to Washingtonville, and other villages will continue to require their equivalent officials to be residents of that village unless a specific state law dictates otherwise.
