 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. SMULLEN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Governmental Operations

 AN ACT to amend the public officers law, in relation to qualifications
 for holding the office of correction officer in the county of Montgom-
 ery

 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 77 to read as follows:
 3 77. In the county of Montgomery, the provisions of this section
 4 requiring a person to be a resident of the political subdivision or
 5 municipal corporation of the state for which such person shall be chosen
 6 or within which such person's official functions are required to be
 7 exercised, shall not prevent a person from holding the office of
 8 correction officer in Montgomery county, provided, however, that such
 9 person performing the duties and functions of correction officer resides
 10 in Montgomery county or any adjoining county within New York state
 11 unless otherwise provided by an act of the state legislature. Such
 12 person performing the duties and functions of correction officer may
 13 also reside in Albany county, Delaware county, Greene county, Hamilton
 14 county, Madison county, Oneida county, Rensselaer county, Warren county,
 15 or Washington county.
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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