A 6523 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires certain municipal positions undergo continuing legal education courses in ethics

This bill requires certain municipal officials to complete annual ethics training. Specifically, it mandates that town and village board members, zoning board of appeals members, and planning board members complete six hours of accredited ethics continuing legal education each year (with an initial six-hour requirement within one year of taking office). The training must be delivered in one-hour increments and can be completed through various formats like online courses, videos, or in-person sessions. It applies to all these positions across both towns and villages in New York State.
