Relates to residency requirements for inspectors of plumbing in the city of Rochester
S 5758 modifies Rochester's plumbing inspector residency requirement, mandating that all such inspectors must be citizens and actual residents of the county where Rochester is located (Monroe County), rather than the city itself. This change specifically affects plumbing inspectors appointed in Rochester, ensuring they reside in the surrounding county. The bill amends Section 48 of the General City Law to replace the previous city residency rule with the county residency standard for Rochester (while maintaining existing exceptions for other cities like Cortland or Watertown). The policy change focuses on the geographic scope of inspector residency, without altering other qualifications like plumbing expertise or competency certification.
