BILL NUMBER: A5311
SPONSOR: Zebrowski TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to code enforcement
training programs for code enforcement personnel
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bill is to allow flexible, online code enforcement
training for code enforcement personnel.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Subdivision 4 of section 376-a of the executive law is amended to
provide for an online and flexible option for code enforcement training.
JUSTIFICATION:
Code enforcement training in the State of New York is a required task
for code enforcement personnel; often they are time consuming and an
inconvenience to the individual and their employer. In rural munici-
palities, code enforcement officers are frequently volunteers or part-
time employees and may not have the time to complete the training cours-
es as they are currently offered. By allowing these courses to be
completed online, and with a flexible schedule, they will be able to
complete this necessary training in a manner conducive to their sched-
ule.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined
EFFECTIVE DATE:
