S 8945 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Waives the residency requirement for assistant district attorneys in Schenectady county

This bill modifies New York's public officers law to allow assistant district attorneys in Schenectady County to live in Schenectady County or any neighboring county within New York, rather than requiring them to reside specifically within the county they serve. The change directly affects individuals appointed to this role by removing the strict local residency barrier while maintaining a requirement that they live in the state. It explicitly excludes the chief assistant district attorney from this new flexibility, as that position must still meet existing residency rules. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
