Relates to members and powers of intergovernmental relations councils
This bill amends New York State's General Municipal Law to update provisions governing intergovernmental relations councils. It allows counties, cities, towns, school districts, fire districts, and other local entities to form councils that can conduct studies, share information, cooperate with agencies, and operate as purchasing consortia to save costs on goods and services. Participating local governments must adopt bylaws, elect officers, and fund council operations through their annual budgets. The bill directly affects local governments seeking to collaborate on shared services and administrative efficiency. (3 sentences)
