APPENDIX C
PROPOSED COUNTY HOME RULE IN NEW YORK
[Below is the text of a constitutional amendment introduced in the
Legislature of New York in 1916 by the County Government Association
of New York State. The general object of this amendment is to limit
the amount of special legislation affecting counties by empowering
boards of supervisors to deal with many subjects of administrative
organization and detail over which at present they have no general
jurisdiction. The amendment anticipates legislation under which
counties by referendum would be able to adopt one of several
simplified forms of government in substitution for the existing form.]
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
Proposing the repeal of sections twenty-six and twenty-seven of
article three, the insertion of two new sections at the beginning of
article ten, to be numbered sections one and two, respectively, and
the renumbering and amendment of sections one to nine, respectively,

Section 1. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That sections twenty-six
and twenty-seven of article three be hereby repealed.
§ 2. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That article ten of the
constitution be hereby amended by inserting therein two new sections
at the beginning thereof, to be numbered sections one and two,
respectively, to read as follows:
