Latest version.
  • This article is adopted pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law § 10, Subdivision 1(ii)(a)(1), that grants to local governments the authority to enact local laws regarding the qualification of local officers. Furthermore, this article recognizes that the State Legislature amended Public Officers Law § 3, adding a new Subdivision 20 expanding the residency requirements for a deputy town clerk in the Town of Canandaigua, thereby rendering Public Officers Law § 3 a special law with respect to a deputy town clerk.
