Title of bill
An act to amend the village law, in relation to the office of the assessor of the village of Haverstraw, Rockland county
Purpose of the bill
This bill would allow the village of Haverstraw to hire an assessor from outside the village, who is a resident of the county of Rockland, Orange, Putnam or Westchester.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends section 3-300 of the village law by adding a new subdivision 19 as it relates to allowing the village of Haverstraw to have a person hold the office of assessor who is not a resident of the village, provided that such person resides in the counties of Rockland, Westchester, Orange, or Putnam.
Justification
