Relates to qualifications for holding the office of deputy sheriff in the county of Montgomery
This bill allows deputy sheriffs in Montgomery County to live in specific counties outside of Montgomery County, expanding their current residency requirements. Under the new rules, these law enforcement officers may reside in Albany, Delaware, Greene, Hamilton, Madison, Oneida, Rensselaer, Warren, or Washington counties while still performing their duties in Montgomery. The legislation amends the Public Officers Law to remove the restriction that previously required all deputy sheriffs to live within the county where they work. This change applies immediately to anyone holding or seeking the position of deputy sheriff in Montgomery County.
