 Introduced by Sen. ASHBY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the county law, in relation to appointment of school
 resource officers to private elementary and secondary schools

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

 1 Section 1. The county law is amended by adding a new section 663 to
 2 read as follows:
 3 § 663. Appointment of school resource officers at private elementary
 4 and secondary schools. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to
 5 the contrary, the sheriff of any county, any part or all of which falls
 6 outside the limits of a city having a population of one million or more,
 7 may appoint a deputy as a school resource officer, school safety offi-
 8 cer, school security officer or any other substantially similar position
 9 or office that is designed to provide safety and/or security on school
 10 grounds, to a requesting private elementary or secondary school where
 11 there are no available local police officers for appointment. The sher-
 12 iff may appoint such school security officers pursuant to this section
 13 only if more than fifty percent of the total acreage of real property
 14 owned by or under the control of such private elementary or secondary
 15 school is located within such sheriff's county of jurisdiction and
 16 outside the geographic boundaries of any city within such county. The
 17 sheriff may appoint such school security officers only if the county
 18 legislature or board of supervisors, pursuant to local law or resolution
 19 duly adopted, has authorized the sheriff to make such appointments. Any
 20 such appointed school resource officers shall be employees of the
 21 private elementary or secondary school requesting such appointment and
 22 shall not be officers, agents, servants or employees of the appointing
 23 sheriff or such sheriff's county of jurisdiction nor be considered
 24 public officers, agents, servants or employees.

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

 S. 5301 2

 1 2. The sheriff may condition appointment as private school resource
 2 officers upon compliance by such school resource officers with written
 3 procedures established by the sheriff in order to ensure a coordinated
 4 and cooperative law enforcement effort and the payment of an administra-
 5 tive fee not to exceed fifty dollars per year per school resource offi-
 6 cer, and may revoke such appointments at any time for material non-com-
 7 pliance with the requirements of such written procedures or for any
 8 other reason that shall disqualify a school resource officer from being
 9 such school resource officer pursuant to the provisions of this section.
 10 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 11 have become a law.
