S 8971 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Waives the residency requirement for appointed public officers employed by Putnam county

This bill allows appointed public officers in Putnam County to live anywhere in New York State instead of requiring them to reside specifically within the county. It achieves this by amending state law to exempt these county employees from local residency rules, as long as they maintain a residence within New York. The change applies immediately to anyone appointed to these roles, removing a previous barrier that restricted where they could live while holding office.
