BILL NUMBER:S3949 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to residency requirements for public health director in the county of Herkimer PURPOSE: To authorize Herkimer County to consider candidates for the position of public health director for Herkimer County from outside the county SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill adds a new section to the public officers law granting Herkimer County the option of choosing a county public health director from candidates either within or outside of, and adjacent to, Herkimer County. EXISTING LAW: Current state law requires that the county public health director be a resident of the county. JUSTIFICATION: The measure is a home rule request from the Herkimer County Legislature that it be permitted to consider candidates for a county office from outside the county. The county is seeking to hire the most qualified candidate, and allowing the legislature to hire from adjoining counties broadens the opportunity to hire a superior candidate.
