A 8180 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Permits Yates county assistant district attorneys and assistant public defenders to reside in Chemung county

This bill amends New York State law to allow Yates County assistant district attorneys (excluding the first assistant) and assistant public defenders to reside in Chemung County instead of being required to live in Yates County. Currently, these positions mandate residency within Yates County or an adjacent county, but the bill explicitly adds Chemung County to the list of acceptable residence locations. The change applies only to residency requirements for these specific county legal roles, not to their work duties or location. It does not alter the officials' responsibilities or the counties they serve.
