 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 19

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. STEC -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Govern-
 ment Operations

 AN ACT to amend the public officers law, in relation to waiving the
 residency requirement for certain county attorney positions within
 Warren county

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 3 of the public officers law is amended by adding a
 2 new subdivision 76 to read as follows:
 3 76. In the county of Warren, the provisions of this section requiring
 4 a person to be a resident of the political subdivision or municipal
 5 corporation of the state for which such person shall be chosen or within
 6 which such person's official functions are required to be exercised,
 7 shall not prevent a person from holding the office of assistant district
 8 attorney, assistant public defender or assistant county attorney of the
 9 county of Warren, provided that such person resides in a county adjoin-
 10 ing Warren county within the state of New York; provided, however that
 11 any person performing such functions or holding such offices in any
 12 other county shall be a resident of such county unless otherwise
 13 provided by law. The provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to
 14 any person holding the office of first assistant public defender, the
 15 holder of which would assume the duties of the public defender upon the
 16 public defender's absence from the county or upon the public defender's
 17 inability to perform such office's duties.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
