A 9828 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Exempts the residency requirement for the comptroller and building inspector in the town of Chester, county of Orange

This bill changes the residency rules for two specific town officials in Chester, Orange County, allowing them to live anywhere within the county rather than strictly within the town itself. The law applies only to the roles of comptroller and building inspector in Chester, while officials in other towns must still be residents of their respective towns unless state law says otherwise. By removing the town-specific requirement, the legislation expands the pool of eligible candidates for these positions to anyone residing in Orange County. The changes took effect immediately upon signing and do not alter the duties or responsibilities of the offices, only the location where the holders must live.
