Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to the residence of members of the auto trades employed by a city with a population of one million or more and other counties
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would amend the Public Officers Law to allow the hiring and continued employment by the city of New York of members of the auto trades who reside in the City of New York, or Nassau, Westchester, Suffolk, Orange, Rockland or Putnam counties.
Justification
The provisions allowing residence in a outside the employing county are modeled on the existing provisions of the Public Officers Law allowing members of a municipal sanitation department to reside in a contiguous county. The same standards should apply to the skilled tradespersons employed in the auto trades, who also find the costs of housing prohibitive and want the opportunity to raise their children in a less dense environment than the urban settings of municipal centers. This bill would give members of the auto trades the same opportunity to do so as members of a municipal sanitation department.
