Senate BillIntroduced
S 19: Waives the residency requirement for certain county attorney positions within Warren county including assistant district attorney, assistant public defender and assistant county attorney.
What S 19 does, verified July 2, 2025
The bill proposes to amend the Public Officers Law to waive the residency requirement for certain county attorney positions in Warren County. A person can hold the office of assistant district attorney, assistant public defender, or assistant county attorney in Warren County without being a resident of the county, as long as they reside in an adjacent county in New York State. However, this provision does not apply to the office of first assistant public defender, which assumes the duties of the public defender in the county. The changes take effect immediately.
