N.Y. Public Health Law § 342: County or part-county health districts; withdrawal of a city

§ 342. County or part-county health districts; withdrawal of a city.

1. The governing authorities of any city which has consented to be

included in a county or part-county health district, may, at any time

after three years shall have elapsed since such city has been included

in such health district, by resolution adopted by said authorities,

provide for the withdrawal of such city from the county or part-county

health district.

2. Before such action for the withdrawal of a city from a county or

part-county health district is taken an opportunity shall be given for a

public hearing before such governing authorities. Public notice shall be

given and the board of health of the county or part-county health

district shall be notified in writing, at least thirty days in advance,

of the time and place of such hearing.

3. The withdrawal of a city from a county or part-county health

district, shall become effective at a time to be stated in the

resolution adopted by the governing authorities of the city pursuant to

the provisions of this section, which said time shall be not less than

thirty days from the date of the adoption of said resolution. Upon the

date when such resolution shall become effective, the local health

district of such city shall be reinstated and it shall have all the

powers of a local health district as though such city had not been

included in the county or part-county health district pursuant to the

provisions of this article.
