 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 May 13, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. SLATER -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Governmental Operations

 AN ACT to amend the public officers law, in relation to waiving the
 residency requirement for the office of Putnam county attorney

 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 Putnam, 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 their official functions are required to be exercised, shall not
 7 prevent a person regularly admitted to practice as an attorney or coun-
 8 selor in the courts of record of this state from holding the office of
 9 Putnam county attorney, provided that such person resides in a county
 10 adjoining Putnam county within the state of New York; provided, however
 11 that 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.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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