Relates to qualifications for holding the office of correction officer in the county of Montgomery
This bill allows correction officers in Montgomery County to live in specific neighboring counties within New York State, rather than requiring them to reside exclusively within the county. It expands the list of eligible residential areas to include Albany, Delaware, Greene, Hamilton, Madison, Oneida, Rensselaer, Warren, and Washington counties, while still permitting residency in any adjoining county unless state law changes. The change applies immediately to anyone holding the office of correction officer in Montgomery County.
