AN ACT to amend the village law, in relation to authorizing the appoint-
ment of an additional associate village justice by villages
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Paragraph a of subdivision 2 of section 3-301 of the
village law, as amended by chapter 259 of the laws of 2016, is amended
to read as follows:
a. except as provided in section 3-303 of this article, no more than
two village justices, but in the event a village has one justice, it
shall also have an associate justice who shall serve when requested by
the village justice or in the absence or inability of the village
justice to serve. A VILLAGE THAT HAS ONE JUSTICE, MAY ADOPT A RESOLUTION
ON UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO AUTHORIZE THE
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND ASSOCIATE VILLAGE JUSTICE TO SERVE WHEN
REQUESTED BY THE VILLAGE JUSTICE OR IN THE ABSENCE OR INABILITY OF THE
VILLAGE JUSTICE OR ASSOCIATE VILLAGE JUSTICE TO SERVE. The office of
village justice is continued in every village in which it is now estab-
lished. The board of trustees of any other village may establish such
office by resolution or local law, subject to a permissive referendum.
The board of trustees of any village by resolution or local law, subject
to permissive referendum, may abolish such office, but to take effect
only upon the expiration of the then current term of such office, or
establish the office of additional village justices, which justice once
elected shall have all the powers and duties of a village justice. The
resolution or local law in the latter case shall provide for a term
pursuant to section 3-302 of this article. The clerk of the court of a
village shall be discharged from employment only upon the advice and
consent of the village justice or justices when the clerk, in his or her
village duties, works solely for the village justice or justices.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
