N.Y. County Law § 376: Local laws; resolutions

§ 376. Local laws; resolutions. 1. Whenever in this article the board

of supervisors is authorized by action taken pursuant to this section,

to alter or abolish the requirements of any section of this article, or

part thereof, or to make applicable to the county the provisions of any

such section, or part thereof, not otherwise applicable, such action

shall be by local law adopted in the manner prescribed in the municipal

home rule law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or any

general, special or local law, a local law adopted pursuant to this

article shall not be subject to a mandatory or permissive referendum.

2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or of any general,

special or local law, and except as expressly permitted by this article,

no local law or resolution shall be adopted by a board of supervisors

inconsistent with the mandatory provision of this article or the

optional provisions thereof where made applicable; provided, however,

that local laws may be adopted imposing additional requirements not

inconsistent with any such provisions.

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or of any general,

special or local law, a roll call vote shall be taken when any

resolution expressly authorized or required by this article is voted

upon by the board of supervisors. Such roll call vote shall be entered

in the minutes of the board.

4. Any local law by which an optional provision of this article is

made applicable to a county may be repealed, whereupon such optional

provision shall cease to be applicable to such county. Any other local

law, or resolution, adopted pursuant to this article may be amended or

repealed, provided that no such local law or resolution shall be amended

so as to be inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of this article

or the optional provisions thereof where made applicable. A resolution

to amend or repeal a resolution previously adopted pursuant to an

express authorization or requirement of this article shall be voted

upon, and the roll call vote thereon shall be recorded, in the manner

provided in subdivision three of this section.
