Maddy summaryThis bill modifies residency rules for the Seneca County Attorney, allowing the officeholder to live in Seneca County or any neighboring county in New York instead of requiring them to reside strictly within Seneca County. The change applies to individuals who are licensed to practice law in New York and ensures that the person actually performing the duties in other counties remains a resident of that specific county unless the state legislature decides otherwise. By updating the Public Officers Law, the legislation removes a geographic barrier for potential candidates while maintaining the expectation that the attorney serving a different county will live there.
