AN ACT to amend the public officers law, in relation to the qualifica-
tions for holding the office of assistant district attorney in the
county of Orleans
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Section 3 of the public officers law is amended by adding a
2 new subdivision 70 to read as follows:
3 70. In the county of Orleans, the provisions of this section requiring
4 a person to be a resident of the political subdivision or municipal
5 corporation of the state for which he or she shall be chosen or within
6 which his or her official functions are required to be exercised, shall
7 not prevent a person from holding the office of assistant district
8 attorney of the county of Orleans, provided that such person resides in
9 Orleans county or an adjoining county within the state of New York;
10 provided, however, that any person performing such functions or holding
11 the office of assistant district attorney in any other county shall be a
12 resident of such county unless otherwise provided by law. The
13 provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to any person holding the
14 office of first assistant district attorney, the holder of which would
15 assume the duties of the district attorney upon the district attorney's
16 absence from the county or upon the district attorney's inability to
17 perform his or her duties.
18 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
