BILL NUMBER: S1794 SPONSOR: HINCHEY TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the town law, in relation to the classification of the town of Ulster in the county of Ulster PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To change the classification of the town of Ulster in the county of Ulster SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: In the early 1970s, the Town of Ulster was specifically exempted from becoming a first class town despite its population increasing to over 10,000 residents. As its population size has continued to increase, the Town now requests the removal of this special exemption so that they can become a first class town, as all others of their size are designated. This legislation removes their exemption.
