New YorkSt. Lawrence County directors could live in neighboring New York counties
If the bill becomes law, St. Lawrence County could fill its public health and community services director jobs with residents of adjoining New York counties.
What it does
St. Lawrence County’s public health and community services directors would be allowed to live in an adjoining New York county if the bill becomes law.
Argument forAllowing residents of neighboring New York counties to serve could give St. Lawrence County more candidates for these two director jobs.
Argument againstAllowing directors to live outside St. Lawrence County could mean they have less firsthand experience with residents’ daily concerns.
More detail
St. Lawrence County would be allowed to have either director live in an adjoining New York county. The exception covers the county public health director and director of community services. The adjoining county must be within New York State. Directors in other counties must live in the county they serve unless another law allows otherwise. The exception would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.
