                                 BILL NUMBER:  S4087

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the public officers law, in relation
to the residency of correction officers employed by the county of
Chenango

 PURPOSE :

Relates to the residency of correction officers employed by the county
of Chenango.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1. Section 3 of the public officers law is amended by adding a
new subdivision 66: In the county of Chenango, the provisions of this
section requiring a person to be a resident of the political
subdivision or municipal corporation of the state for which such
person shall be chosen or within which such person's official
functions are required to be exercised shall not prevent a person from
holding the office of correction officer in Chenango county, provided,
however, that such person performing the duties and functions of
correction officer resides in Chenango county or any adjoining county
within New York state unless otherwise provided by an act of the state
legislature.

 JUSTIFICATION :

In 2005, the County of Chenango opened a new Public Safety Facility to
replace the former facility built back in 1902. The new facility now
accommodates a total of 162 prisoners, a significant increase from
1902 which in turn increases the need for Correction Officers to
supervise the institution. Due to the need of more correction
Officers, the Chenango County Sheriff's office has expressed
difficulties in obtaining an adequate pool of qualified corrections
staff as the attendance at Civil Service Examinations have decreased
making it more difficult to obtain prospective applicants for future
vacancies especially in rural areas such as Chenango County.

Per the request of the Chenango County Board of Supervisors and
resolution #254-16 request an amendment to Public Officers Law § 3
relative to Corrections Officers in Chenango County that would not
prevent a person holding the office of Corrections Officer in Chenango
County, provided such person resides in Chenango County or an
adjoining county within New York State. This amendment would allow
Chenango County to expand its perspective of potential candidates to
fulfill the position of Correction Officers.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
