2023 New York Laws › PBH - Public Health › Article 3 - Local Health Organization › Title 3 - County and Part-County Health Districts › 341 - County or Part-County Health Districts; Local Health Districts Within; Villages in Two Counties.

§  341. County or part-county health districts; local health districts
  within; villages in two counties.  1. Local health districts within  the
  area  of  any  county  or  part-county health district shall continue to
  exist as subdivisions of such health district, and the local  boards  of
  health  shall  continue  to  exist and to retain their powers and duties
  subject to the rulings and regulations of the board  of  health  of  the
  county or part-county health district, and may continue to appoint local
  health officers for such local health districts as provided by law.
2.  If  a  county  or  part-county  health  district  as heretofore or
  hereafter established by a board  of  supervisors  shall  by  its  terms
  contain  a  portion  of any village which lies partly within said county
  and partly within some other county, said  village,  without  regard  to
  population,  shall  continue its local district organization in the same
  manner as before, in which case the health officer of the village acting
  within the county or part-county health district shall be  a  deputy  of
  the  county  health commissioner with reference to acts performed within
  said county or part-county  health  district.  Provided,  however,  said
  village  may, by resolution of the village board, limit the local health
  district to that portion of the village lying in the county  outside  of
  the   county   or  part-county  health  district,  in  which  event  the
  compensation of the local health officer shall be based upon the  number
  of inhabitants in the reduced village health district, and the residents
  of  that  portion  of the village lying within the county or part-county
  health district shall not be taxed by the village for the maintenance of
  such reduced local health district.
3. The governing authorities of any  city,  village  or  town  or  the
  governing  authorities  of  the  cities,  villages  or  towns  within  a
  consolidated health district may abolish such  city,  village,  town  or
  consolidated  health  district as a local health district, whereupon all
  the powers and duties of the local board of health of such local  health
  district  shall  devolve  upon  the  board  of  health  of the county or
  part-county health district and all the powers and duties of  the  local
  health  officer  of  such  local  health district shall devolve upon the
  county health commissioner.
4. The governing authorities of a town or village, the local board  of
  health  of  which  has been abolished pursuant to the provisions of this
  section, when authorized by a proposition submitted and adopted  in  the
  manner  provided  by  law,  may  employ  a public health nurse or public
  health nurses, qualified as provided in the sanitary code, and make  the
  necessary  appropriation  therefor. Such public health nurse, or nurses,
  shall work under the direction of the county health commissioner.
5. Where the local health district within the area of  any  county  or
  part  county  health  district  is a town in which there are one or more
  incorporated villages and the local board of health  is  a  town  board,
  appropriations  made  by  the  town  board  for  the  purposes stated in
  subdivisions one and four of this section shall be  a  charge  upon  the
  taxable  property  of  that part of the town outside of any incorporated
  village.
If a proposition is submitted as provided in subdivision four of  this
  section  for  the  employment of public health nurses in a town in which
  there  are  incorporated  villages  which  constitute  a  local   health
  district,  only  such  persons  who are electors and owners of record of
  property in the town outside of incorporated villages shall be  entitled
  to vote upon such a proposition.
