Relates to when a referendum is required when a village has provided that village elections shall occur on the same day as the general election

This bill clarifies the process for holding referendums in New York villages that schedule their local elections to coincide with the state general election. It mandates that any local laws or resolutions requiring a mandatory referendum must follow the procedures outlined in the Municipal Home Rule Law. Additionally, it specifies that actions subject to a permissive referendum will require a petition-driven vote under the same legal framework. These changes apply directly to village boards of trustees and ensure that voter approval processes remain consistent even when election dates are combined.
