  county

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  Subdivision 1 of section 3-b of the public  officers  law,
as  amended  by  chapter  480 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as

  1. No sheriff of a county, mayor of a  city,  or  official,  or  other
persons  authorized  by  law to appoint special deputy sheriffs, special
constables, marshals, police officers, or peace officers in this  state,
to preserve the public peace or quell public disturbance, shall hereaft-

sheriff may appoint special deputy sheriffs who are non-residents of the
county  but  residents  of  the  state of New York who shall hold office
until such time as the appointing sheriff determines that the  situation
no  longer exists; and no person shall assume or exercise the functions,
powers, duties or privileges incident and belonging  to  the  office  of
special  deputy sheriff, special constables, marshal, police officer, or
peace officer, without having first received his appointment in  writing
from  the  authority  lawfully appointing him. Nothing herein contained,
however, shall apply to the appointment of a non-resident, as  an  emer-
gency  special  deputy sheriff, by the sheriff of any county to act when
