Re: Town of Queensbury
Dear Sir/Madam:
The above-referenced materials are being returned for the following reason(s):
For the purpose of filing a local law with the Department of State, number each
local law consecutively, beginning with the number one for the first local law
filed in each calendar year. The next number in sequence should be applied to
each local law when it is submitted to the Department of State for filing,
regardless of its date of introduction or adoption or introductory bill number.
Please note that the date of filing of a local law is the date on which the local
law is placed on file by the Department.
Therefore, since these Local Laws were mailed and received in 2012, they must
be a 2012 law.
It is Suggested that municipalities use introductory identifying bill numbers for
proposed local laws. After the local law is enacted (and approved by the
voters, if required), the local law should then be numbered with the next
consecutive local law number, as described above, and then submitted to the
Department for filing.
Sincerely,
Linda Lasch
Principal Clerk
Bureau of State Records
