The provisions of §§ 20, 23 and
31 of the Town Law, § 109 of the Uniform Justice Court Act
and § 3 of the Public Officers Law and any other provisional
law requiring a person to be a resident of a political subdivision
or a municipal corporation of the state for which he or she shall
be chosen or within which his or her official functions are required
to be exercised are waived to the extent that such provisions shall
not prevent a person from holding the office of Court Clerk, provided
that said person is a resident of the County of Dutchess and so long
as all other qualifications contained in §§ 20, 23
and 31 of the Town Law, § 109 of the Uniform Justice Court
Act and § 3 of the Public Officers Law are satisfied by
the appointee of such office. This amendment is pursuant to Municipal
Home Rule Law § 10, Subdivision 1, Paragraphs (ii)d(3),
(ii)a(12) and (ii)a(14), and does supersede the provisions of §§ 20,
23 and 31 of the Town Law, § 109 of the Uniform Justice
Court Act and § 3 of the Public Officers Law and any other
law inconsistent with the provisions hereof.
The Court Clerk shall be compensated by a fixed
salary.
