BILL NUMBER:S7485A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to residency
requirements for peace officers employed by Cornell University

PURPOSE:
To allow for Cornell University to hire campus police officers that are
assigned to the Ithaca campus who live outside of Tompkins County.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Amends section 3 of the public officers law by adding a new subdivision
59, allowing for a peace officer employed by Cornell University and
assigned to the Ithaca campus to reside outside of Tompkins County,
provided that such person reside in the state of New York.

EXISTING LAW:
Existing law requires a person to be a resident of the political subdi-
vision or municipal corporation of the state for which he or she shall
be chosen, or within which his or her official functions are required.

JUSTIFICATION:
In order to improve hiring, and allow for greater freedom of residency
location, this legislation would allow for Cornell University police
officers assigned to the Ithaca campus to reside outside of Tompkins
County, and still perform their official functions at the university.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the state.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
