AN ACT to amend the public officers law in relation to  the  removal  of
  residency  as  a  condition  precedent to employment for any political
  subdivision or municipal corporation of the state or any of its  agen-
  cies

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

  Section 1. Legislative finding and declaration. The legislature hereby
finds and declares that there is a substantial  state  interest  in  the
fair  and  equitable  treatment of public employees throughout the state
who are permitted to reside in localities outside the political subdivi-
sion or municipal corporation of the state for which they  work.    That
substantial  state  interest  would be furthered by establishing that no
employee who resides in a permitted locality be subject to any  levy  or
payment by choosing to reside in such permitted locality. Therefore, the
legislature  declares  the  necessity  for  the enactment of this act to
establish that no public employee who becomes a nonresident of  a  poli-
tical  subdivision or municipal corporation of the state for which he or
she works shall be obligated to make a payment because he or she becomes
a nonresident by residing in a locality  permitted  by  state  or  other
applicable law.
  S  2.  Section 3 of the public officers law is amended by adding a new
subdivision 65 to read as follows:
  65. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION OR OF ANY  GENERAL,
SPECIAL  OR  LOCAL  LAW,  CHARTER,  CODE, ORDINANCE, RESOLUTION, RULE OR
REGULATION TO THE CONTRARY, COMMENCING ON JANUARY FIRST OF THE  CALENDAR
YEAR  AFTER  THE  EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SUBDIVISION, NO EMPLOYEE OF ANY
POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE  OR  ANY  OF
ITS  AGENCIES  THAT RESIDES IN A COUNTY PERMITTED BY THIS SECTION OR ANY
OTHER APPLICABLE LAW SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT  OR  SATISFY
ANY  LEVY  PURSUANT TO A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT, OR AGREEMENT THAT SUCH
EMPLOYEE MAY HAVE SIGNED, THAT SUCH EMPLOYEE SHALL  PAY  ANY  AMOUNT  IF
SUCH  EMPLOYEE  BECOMES  A  NONRESIDENT  OF THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
