A 3827 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Removes residency requirements for Jefferson county assistant district attorneys

This bill removes a requirement that assistant district attorneys in Jefferson County must reside within the county. It specifically amends the public officers law to eliminate residency restrictions for this role, meaning assistant DAs in Jefferson County no longer need to live in the county to hold the position. The change applies only to assistant district attorneys (not first or chief assistant DAs) and only in Jefferson County; residency rules for other counties and other county official roles remain unchanged. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
