Title of bill
An act to amend the village law and the public officers 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 20 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.
Section two amends section three of the public officers law by adding a new subdivision 58 that does not require a person holding the office of assessor to reside within the village, provided the individual resides within the county the village is located or an adjoining county within the state of New York.
