 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 the
 8 deputy county attorney of the county of Washington, provided that such
 9 person resides in Washington county or an adjoining county within the
 10 state of New York; provided, however that any person performing such
 11 functions or holding the office of the deputy county attorney in any
 12 other county shall be a resident of such county unless otherwise
 13 provided by law.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
