The provision 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 within 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 provision
shall not prevent a person from holding the office of Clerk to Justice,
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 Clerk to Justice shall be compensated by
a fixed salary.
