Authorizes the towns of Harmony and North Harmony in Chautauqua county to elect a single town justice to preside in the town courts of such towns
This bill allows the towns of Harmony and North Harmony in Chautauqua County to combine their judicial roles by electing one town justice to preside over courts in both locations. The legislation requires the towns to complete a study, hold a public hearing, and pass a joint resolution before implementing this change. Once adopted, the newly elected official will serve a one-year term starting after the next general election. This measure simplifies local court administration by reducing the number of separate town justice positions in these specific communities.
