Expands geographical boundaries for residency requirements of correction officers employed by the counties of Rockland and Orange

Summary

The bill changes New York’s residency rules for correction officers employed by sheriff’s departments or local jails in Rockland and Orange counties. It allows officers to be appointed and to keep their jobs even if they live outside the county, as long as they reside in a neighboring county or within 45 miles of the county line. This expands the pool of eligible candidates and reduces the risk of vacancies when officers move.
