 AN ACT to amend the town law, in relation to requiring the appointment
 of assessors

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraphs (b) and (f) of subdivision 1 of section 20 of
 2 the town law, paragraph (b) as amended by chapter 513 of the laws of
 3 2022 and paragraph (f) as amended by chapter 472 of the laws of 1984,
 4 are amended to read as follows:
 5 (b) Except as otherwise provided by law, every town of the second
 6 class shall have a supervisor, two justices of the peace, two town coun-
 7 cil members, a town clerk, a town superintendent of highways, three
 8 assessors, a collector, and, if there be no town police department, as
 9 many constables as the town board may determine necessary. In any such
 10 town in which a town police department has been established pursuant to
 11 law, the town board may appoint not more than four civil officers who
 12 shall possess all the powers and duties of constables in civil actions
 13 and proceedings only, except that the town board of the town of Sout-
 14 hold, county of Suffolk, may appoint four additional constables, who
 15 shall possess all the powers and duties of constables in civil and crim-
 16 inal actions and proceedings, solely for the benefit of Fishers Island
 17 located in such town; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph
 18 shall be deemed to authorize such constables to carry, repair or dispose
 19 of a firearm unless the appropriate license therefore has been issued
 20 pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law; and shall be paid no salary
 21 by the town board but shall be entitled to collect the statutory fees
 22 allowed by law in such civil actions and proceedings. Every town of the
 23 second class may have in addition such other employees as the town board
 24 may determine necessary for the proper conduct of the affairs of the
 25 town. The supervisor, justices of the peace, town council members, town

 1 clerk, town superintendent of highways[, assessors] and collector in
 2 every such town shall be elected. All other town officers and employees

 4 provided by law. Provided, however, that in a town having less than
 5 three hundred inhabitants according to the latest federal census and
 6 having a taxable property valuation of less than one hundred thousand
 7 dollars according to the latest assessment roll, there shall be elected
 8 one justice of the peace for a term of four years [and one assessor for

 17 fifteen hundred fifty-six of the real property tax law] shall have one
 18 assessor to be appointed in the manner and for the term prescribed by
 19 section three hundred ten of the real property tax law.
