TITLE OF BILL:
An act in relation to issuing the village of Nelliston incorporation
documents
 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To establish the Village of Nelliston as an incorporated village in New
York State.
 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Legislative findings. It is hereby found and determined that
the village of Nelliston was incorporated in 1878 under the authority
granted by Chapter 291 of the Laws of 1870. It is further determined
that the village of Nelliston was not required to submit incorporation
documents to the Department of State as there was no statutory require-
ment for certificates of incorporation to be filed with the Department
at that time. It is further determined that the village of Nelliston
lost its original incorporation documents in a fire in the late 1800's
and no other incorporation document exists.
Section 2. The village of Nelliston is to be recognized as incorporated
since 1878 under the authority granted by Chapter 291 of the Laws of
1870. The Secretary of State shall issue to the village of Nelliston a
certificate of incorporation verifying the status of the village of
Nelliston as incorporated as a village since 1878. The reissued certif-
icate of incorporation is to be filed, and kept by the Department of
State, as required by § 2-234 of the Village Law.
Section 3. Provides the effective date.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
While the Village of Nelliston was incorporated in 1878 under proper
authority, it has since lost required documents, not required at the
time of its incorporation. In present time, without the recognition of
the Village of Nelliston or its incorporation, the municipality itself
now experiences trouble with applications for grant funding, congres-
sionally directed spending, and other sources of funding.
