Relates to qualifications for holding the office of correction officer in the county of Montgomery
This bill changes residency requirements for correction officers in Montgomery County, New York. It allows officers to reside in Montgomery County or specific adjacent counties (Albany, Delaware, Greene, Hamilton, Madison, Oneida, Rensselaer, Warren, and Washington) instead of requiring them to live in Montgomery itself. The change applies only to correction officers performing duties within Montgomery County, not to other public officeholders. The policy update takes effect immediately upon enactment.
