S 8732 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to qualifications for holding the office of deputy sheriff in the county of Montgomery

This bill changes residency requirements for Montgomery County deputy sheriffs. It allows deputies to live outside Montgomery County in specific adjacent New York counties, including Albany, Delaware, Greene, and others listed in the law. The change means deputies must still work within Montgomery County but can reside in these designated areas. This directly affects current and future deputy sheriffs seeking employment in Montgomery County.
