N.Y. General Municipal Law § 77-d: Traveling expenses for applicants for public employment

§ 77-d. Traveling expenses for applicants for public employment. The

governing board of each county, city, town, village, school district,

fire district or other district corporation may, by local law, ordinance

or resolution, authorize the payment of the actual and necessary travel

expenses, including meals and lodging, of an applicant for any office or

position in the service of such county, city, town, village, school

district, fire district or district corporation. Such payment shall be

deemed a purpose of the county, city, town, village, school district,

fire district, or other district corporation and shall be a charge

against the taxable property within each such county, city, town,

village, school district, fire district or district corporation.

However, in the event taxes are levied upon taxable property of an area

of less than an entire city, county, town or village for the

compensation or salary of such office or position, the expense incurred

under this section shall be a charge against such area and shall be

levied and collected from the taxable property thereof.
