     3    73.  In the county of Greene, the provisions of this section requiring
     4  a person to be a resident of  the  political  subdivision  or  municipal
     5  corporation  of  the state for which he or she shall be chosen or within
     6  which his or her official functions are required to be exercised,  shall
     7  not  prevent  a  person  from  holding  the office of assistant district
     8  attorney of the county of Greene, provided that such person  resides  in
     9  Greene  county  or  an  adjoining  county  within the state of New York;
    10  provided, however, that any person performing such functions or  holding
    11  the office of assistant district attorney in any other county shall be a
    12  resident  of  such  county  unless  otherwise  provided  by  law.    The
    13  provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to any person holding the
    14  office of first assistant district attorney, the holder of  which  would
    15  assume  the duties of the district attorney upon the district attorney's
    16  absence from the county or upon the  district  attorney's  inability  to
    17  perform his or her duties.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
