Town of Walworth 12-18-2003 by L.L. No. 5-2003.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]

Editor's Note: The provisions in this local
law were originally adopted as Ch. 114, but were redesignated to maintain
the organizational structure of the Code.
This chapter is titled "A Local Law to Designate
the Official Town Newspaper for the Town of Walworth."
This chapter is adopted pursuant to Municipal
Home Rule Law § 10, Subdivision 1(ii)d(3), and shall supersede
§ 64, Subdivision 11, of the Town Law.
The Town Board of the Town of Walworth may designate
as the Town's official newspaper any newspaper of general circulation
in the Town without regard to the order of hierarchy set forth in
Town Law § 64, Subdivision 11, providing that the newspaper
meets the statutory definition of a "newspaper" as provided in General
Construction Law § 60, Subdivision a, and Public Officers
Law § 70-a.
All other local laws and ordinances of the Town
of Walworth that are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter
are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only
be to the extent of such inconsistency and in all other respects this
chapter shall be in addition to such other local laws or ordinances
regulating and governing the subject matter covered by this chapter.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section
or part of this chapter shall be adjudged by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such judgment
shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but
shall be confined in its operation of the clause, sentence, paragraph,
word, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
This chapter shall take effect upon the filing
thereof in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of New
York, but shall take effect immediately upon a person personally served
a copy after its adoption.
