Authorizes the town clerk of the town of Bethany, county of Genesee, to be nonresidents of such town
This bill allows the town clerk of Bethany, a town in Genesee County, to live outside of the town's borders. While town clerks in other New York towns must be local voters, this law permits the Bethany clerk to reside in an adjacent town or village within the same county. The change modifies existing state laws that normally require local residency for this specific office, taking effect immediately upon passage.
