BILL NUMBER:S7214
Title of bill
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to qualifications for holding office in the town of Ossining, county of Westchester
Purpose
To ensure that the Town of Ossining, Westchester County, has the ability to employ individuals as court attendants who can fully and effectively carry out their special duties.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Adds a new subdivision 62 to section 3 of the public officers law to exempt court attendants in the Town of Ossining, Westchester county, from the requirement that they be a resident of the political subdivision or municipal corporation within which his or her official functions are required to be exercised.
Section 2. Effective date.
Justification
Court attendants play an important role in maintaining order and ensuring public safety in the Town's court facilities and in recent years, the need to ensure the safety of the Town's court employees, as well as members of the public, has become more important than ever. Because the Town of Ossining does not presently maintain its own Police Department, the Town's court attendants are essential in maintaining the necessary order and safety in its courts. This waiver of the residency requirement is necessary to permit the Town to seek-out and hire competent and qualified individuals from the largest possible pool of eligible candidates who have the skills and ability to fulfill the essential functions of this position.
