S 8183: Exempts persons holding the office of clerk-treasurer or deputy clerk in the village of Baxter Estates from the requirement that such person be a resident of the political subdivision or municipal corporation of the state for which such person shall be chosen or within which such person's official functions are required to be exercised.
What S 8183 does, verified September 28, 2025
The bill aims to amend the Village Law and the Public Officers Law to relax residency requirements for certain village officials. The Village Board of Trustees in a specific village may allow a person to hold the office of village clerk-treasurer or deputy clerk without being a resident of the village, provided they reside in Nassau County or an adjoining county. This change is intended to facilitate the recruitment of qualified candidates for these positions. The bill also clarifies that a person holding the office of village clerk-treasurer or deputy clerk in another village must be a resident of that village, unless otherwise provided by law. The changes take effect immediately.
