BILL NUMBER:S267A

Title of bill

An act to amend the town law, the public officers law and the village law, in relation to the residency requirement for certain part-time employees

Purpose

Provides that certain part-time village and town employees need not be a resident of such village or town.

Summary of provisions

Section one amends Section 23 of the Town Law to add a subdivision giving the option to any town in the state that has a population of less than 20,000 residents to appoint a person to perform the duties of a part-time employee who is not an elector of such town.

Section two amends the Public Officers Law to add a subdivision exempting any part-time employee from the requirement that the individual reside in such town that has a population of less than 20,000 residents or any village that has a population of less than 10,000 provided that they reside within the county or an adjoining county.

Section three amends the Village Law to add a subdivision giving the option to any incorporated village that has a population of less than 10,000 residents, by resolution, the power to exempt any part-time employee from the requirement that the individual reside in such village, provided that they reside within the county or an adjoining county.

Section four contains the effective date.

Justification

This bill will allow towns and villages greater flexibility in hiring part-time employees. This bill would permit towns and villages to hire these positions from within a larger geographical area, so as to employ the best qualified and talented people they can to serve town residents. In addition, this is a way to promote the sharing of services between municipalities.
