Title 19 Part 130

A copy of each local law shall be mailed or delivered to the Department of State, Bureau of State Records and Law, at its Albany office.

Each local law shall be filed on a form provided by the department. If additional pages are required, they must be of the same size as the form. For convenience, printed, mimeographed or typewritten copies of the text may be affixed to the form, but these shall not be of a size larger than the form. To ensure reproduction by the department's record retention equipment, only true and legible copies will be accepted.

The filing form shall contain entries for the title and number of each local law. Numbering shall be consecutive, beginning with the number one for the first local law filed in each calendar year. The next number in sequence shall be applied to each local law when it is filed, regardless of its date of introduction or adoption. Such form shall also contain entries for other information as may be required by law.

The date of filing of a local law shall be the date on which the local law is placed on file by the department.

Corrections of filed local laws will be accepted by the department, only where the corrections are of clerical errors occurring after adoption of the local law. Corrections must be in the form of whole pages submitted as either replacement pages or additional pages. Corrections must be accompanied by a letter signed by the municipal clerk, clerk to the legislative body, or other duly-designated officer, explaining the nature of the correction. The letter must also attest to the officer's belief that the correction will conform the filed local law with the local law as adopted. No other changes of any kind will be made to filed local laws by the department.
