New YorkRushford town justice could live in another Allegany County town
If the bill becomes law, Rushford could have a town justice who lives in another town within Allegany County.
What it does
Rushford's town justice would not have to live or be an eligible voter in Rushford, but would have to live in a town within Allegany County.
Argument forAllowing residents of other Allegany County towns to serve could give Rushford a wider pool of candidates for town justice.
Argument againstAllowing a justice to live outside Rushford could mean residents have a judge with fewer daily connections to their town.
More detail
Rushford would be allowed to have a town justice who lives outside the town. This exception would cover only Rushford's town justice, who would not have to be an eligible voter in Rushford. The justice would still have to live in a town within Allegany County. The exception would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.
