Waives the residency requirement for the commissioner of health and public health director for Putnam county

This bill modifies the residency rules for the health commissioner and public health director in Putnam County, New York. Currently, these officials must live in the county they serve, but this legislation allows them to reside in Putnam County or any neighboring county within the state. The change applies only to Putnam County; officials in other counties must still live in their respective counties unless a different law applies. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
