[HISTORY: Adopted by the Rockland County Legislature 10-18-1983 by L.L. No. 16-1983. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A. 
Section 41.11(d) of the Mental Hygiene Law (McKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York Annotated, Chapter 978 of the Laws of 1977, Section 28) provides that "no person may serve as a member of a board of (sic) a subcommittee for more than two terms consecutively unless otherwise provided by local law."
B. 
The Legislature of the County of Rockland recognizes the enormous contributions by and of the members of the Rockland County Community Services Board and its separate subcommittees.
C. 
The Legislature of Rockland County believes that those citizens of Rockland County who suffer from mental illness, mental retardation, development disabilities and the diseases of alcoholism and substance abuse will benefit from the continued services of members of the Rockland County Community Services Board and its separate subcommittees.
D. 
As Mental Hygiene Law § 41.11(d) specifically provides for the adoption of a local law superseding the two-consecutive-term restriction on members of Community Services Boards and their separate subcommittees, it is the intention and purpose of the Legislature of Rockland County to permit the appointment of members to the Rockland County Community Services Board and its separate subcommittees without regard to the number of consecutive terms served.
Members of the Rockland County Community Services Board[1] and its separate subcommittees may serve consecutive terms without limitation.
