     4  officer in violation of section 3 of the public officers law and section
     5  3-300 of the village law. Notwithstanding this defect, the employment of
     6  such  individuals  as  building  inspector,  fire  inspector,  and  code
     7  enforcement  officer  is  hereby  validated,  legalized,  ratified   and
     8  confirmed, notwithstanding the absence of prior legislative approval.

    10  subdivision 29 to read as follows:
    11    29. Notwithstanding any provisions of this chapter or any other gener-

    14  resolution,  provide that the office of building inspector, fire inspec-
    15  tor and code enforcement officers of such  village  may  be  held  by  a
    16  person  who is not a resident of such village, provided that such person
    17  resides within Rockland county or an adjoining county within  the  state
    18  of New York.
    19    §  3.  Section 3 of the public officers law is amended by adding a new
    20  subdivision 68 to read as follows:
    21    68. In the  village  of  Airmont,  in  the  county  of  Rockland,  the
    22  provisions  of  this  section requiring a person to be a resident of the
    23  political subdivision or municipal corporation of the state for which he
