Waives the residency requirement for the office of Putnam county attorney

This bill waives the standard residency requirement for the Putnam County Attorney position, allowing licensed New York attorneys who live in a county adjacent to Putnam County to serve in the role. Currently, the office requires the holder to reside within Putnam County itself, but this change permits attorneys from neighboring counties to qualify instead. The provision specifically applies only to the Putnam County Attorney position and does not alter residency rules for other county offices. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
