2-110 - Committees Other Than State and County; Creation.

§  2-110.  Committees  other  than state and county; creation. 1.  All
  committees other than state and county committees shall be formed in the
  manner provided for by the rules of the party.
2. In the city of New York there  shall  be  the  party  positions  of
  assembly district leaders or, if the rules of the county committee shall
  so  provide,  one  assembly  district  leader and one associate assembly
  district leader. Outside the city  of  New  York  there  shall  be  such
  positions  when the rules of the county committee shall so provide. Such
  leaders shall be elected at primary elections as herein provided, within
  every county in such city for each assembly district, or for  each  part
  of  an assembly district within such county as may be designated for the
  purpose in the rules of the county committee, and in every county of the
  state outside of such city where the rules so provide, for such assembly
  district or part thereof within such county as may be designated in such
  rules for the purpose. Such assembly district leaders or  such  assembly
  district  leader  and  associate  assembly  district  leader shall be of
  opposite sexes, if the rules of the county committee shall  so  provide,
  and  shall  be enrolled voters of the party residing within the assembly
  district and, if the rules of the county  committee  shall  so  provide,
  within  the  part  of  the  assembly  district  for which they are to be
  elected, and shall be elected at the same primary election and  for  the
  same  term  as  members  of  the  county  committee.  When any such rule
  provides for equal representation of sexes,  the  designating  petitions
  and  primary  ballots  shall  list  candidates  for such party positions
  separately  by  sexes.  Each  shall  perform  such  duties,  powers  and
  functions as the rules of the county committee may prescribe.  Vacancies
  in such positions shall be filled by the members of the county committee
  within  the assembly district or part thereof, as the case may be, until
  the first primary election following the creation  of  such  vacancy  or
  vacancies  for  which  the  period for circulating designating petitions
  ends at  least  seven  days  after  the  creation  of  such  vacancy  or
  vacancies,  at  which time the successor or successors shall be directly
  elected as herein provided.  Assembly  district  leaders  and  associate
  assembly  district leaders shall automatically be members and shall have
  the right to participate and vote in meetings of the county committee or
  any subcommittee thereof. The county committee may provide by its  rules
  that  the members of the state committee, elected in accordance with the
  provisions of  this  chapter,  shall  possess  the  duties,  powers  and
  functions  of  an  assembly  district  leader  or  an associate assembly
  district leader. In such event the provisions of this section shall  not
  apply  to  the members of the state committee but upon his election as a
  member of the state committee, such person shall be deemed to have  also
  been  elected  as  an  assembly district leader or an associate assembly
  district leader.
3. To  be  eligible  for  election  as  assembly  district  leader  or
  associate  assembly  district  leader at the first election next ensuing
  after a readjustment  or  alteration  of  the  units  of  representation
  becomes  effective,  a  candidate  must only have been a resident of the
  county in which the unit, or any part  thereof,  is  contained  for  the
  twelve months immediately preceding the election.
