This article is adopted pursuant to the provisions of New York
State Municipal Home Rule Law § 10, which grants to local
governments the authority to enact local laws which are not inconsistent
with the New York State Constitution or general laws. This article
recognizes that New York State Public Officers Law § 3 was
rendered a special law with respect to the residency requirements
for the office of the Deputy Superintendent of Highways by the addition
of § 3, Subdivision 24.
This article shall supersede § 23 of the New York
State Town Law insofar as it is inconsistent with such section.
The person holding the Office of Deputy Superintendent of Highways
in the Town need not be a resident or elector of the Town, provided
that such person resides within the County of Suffolk.
This article shall take effect immediately.
