BILL NUMBER:S6588A
Title of bill
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to the qualifications for holding the office of assistant district attorney in the county of Essex
Purpose
This bill would permit Assistant District Attorneys in Essex County, other than a First Assistant or Chief Assistant who could assume the duties of the District Attorney, to reside in an adjoining county.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- Amends section 3 of the public officers law by adding a new subdivision 62 permitting Assistant District Attorneys in Essex County, other than a First Assistant or Chief Assistant who could assume the duties of the District Attorney, to reside in an adjoining county.
Existing law
There are currently scores of specific exceptions to the general rule requiring many public officers to reside within the municipal jurisdiction by which they are employed. Of particular relevance, Assistant District Attorneys in Montgomery County may reside in adjoining counties (C. 663 of 2006), Assistant District Attorneys in Fulton County (C. 265 of 2008), Assistant District Attorneys in Putnam (C. 250 of 2008) and others.
Justification
This bill has been introduced at the request of the Essex County District Attorney. The District Attorney has had difficulty recruiting Assistant District Attorneys solely from among practitioners who reside in this predominantly rural county. Adoption of this legislation will enable the District Attorney to recruit from adjoining rural counties such as Clinton or Franklin, which share many characteristics of Essex County.
