BILL NUMBER:S4889 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the village law, in relation to includ- ing a high school member on village boards of trustees PURPOSE: To permit villages in Suffolk County to have an ex-officio non-voting student representative on its Board of Trustees SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill would amend Section 3-301 (1) (b) of the village law to provide for an ex-officio nonvoting student represen- tative of village Boards in Suffolk County The bill also adds a new section 3-305 to the Village Law which provides that a village may, subject to permissive referendum, appoint a resident high school senior to a one year term. JUSTIFICATION: The legislation is similar to legislation which allows students to be non-voting members of school boards. The appointment would be a recognition by the community of its interest in student participation in local government.
