2023 New York Laws › ELN - Election › Article 2 - Party Organization › 2-110 - Committees Other Than State and County; Creation.

§  2-110.  Committees  other  than  state and county; creation. 1. All
  committees other than state and county committees shall be formed in the
  manner provided for by the rules of the party.
2. In the city of New York there  shall  be  the  party  positions  of
  assembly district leaders or, if the rules of the county committee shall
  so  provide,  one  assembly  district  leader and one associate assembly
  district leader. Outside the city  of  New  York  there  shall  be  such
  positions  when the rules of the county committee shall so provide. Such
  leaders shall be elected at primary elections as herein provided, within
  every county in such city for each assembly district, or for  each  part
  of  an assembly district within such county as may be designated for the
  purpose in the rules of the county committee, and in every county of the
  state outside of such city where the rules so provide, for such assembly
  district or part thereof within such county as may be designated in such
  rules for the purpose. Such assembly district leaders or  such  assembly
  district  leader  and  associate  assembly  district  leader shall be of
  different genders, if  the  rules  of  the  county  committee  shall  so
  provide,  and  shall be enrolled voters of the party residing within the
  assembly district and, if the rules of the  county  committee  shall  so
  provide,  within the part of the assembly district for which they are to
  be elected, and shall be elected at the same primary  election  and  for
  the  same  term  as  members of the county committee. When any such rule
  provides for representation by gender,  the  designating  petitions  and
  primary   ballots   shall  list  candidates  for  such  party  positions
  separately by gender marker. In providing for such  representation,  the
  county  committee  shall establish rules that provide for the ability of
  individuals who do not exclusively identify as a binary gender to  serve
  as  district leader and which respect individuals' gender identity. Each
  shall perform such duties, powers and functions  as  the  rules  of  the
  county  committee  may  prescribe.  Vacancies in such positions shall be
  filled by the members  of  the  county  committee  within  the  assembly
  district  or  part  thereof, as the case may be, until the first primary
  election following the creation of such vacancy or vacancies  for  which
  the  period  for  circulating  designating petitions ends at least seven
  days after the creation of such vacancy or vacancies, at which time  the
  successor  or  successors  shall be directly elected as herein provided.
  Assembly district leaders and associate assembly district leaders  shall
  automatically  be  members  and  shall have the right to participate and
  vote in meetings of the county committee or  any  subcommittee  thereof.
  The  county  committee  may provide by its rules that the members of the
  state committee, elected in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this
  chapter,  shall  possess the duties, powers and functions of an assembly
  district leader or an associate assembly district leader. In such  event
  the  provisions  of  this  section shall not apply to the members of the
  state committee but upon  their  election  as  a  member  of  the  state
  committee,  such  person shall be deemed to have also been elected as an
  assembly district leader or an associate assembly district leader.
3. To  be  eligible  for  election  as  assembly  district  leader  or
  associate  assembly  district  leader at the first election next ensuing
  after a readjustment  or  alteration  of  the  units  of  representation
  becomes  effective,  a  candidate  must only have been a resident of the
  county in which the unit, or any part  thereof,  is  contained  for  the
  twelve months immediately preceding the election.
