NOTICE OF HEARING BEFORE COUNTY EXECUTIVE -PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that pursuant to Section 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York, a public hearing will be held by the County Executive of the County of Monroe on November 2, 2026, at 9:30 A.M. in the County Legislative Chambers in the County Office Building, Rochester, New York, on a proposed local law (Intro. No. 322 of 2026) entitled "Monroe County Animal Abuse Registration Act". Copies of this proposed local law are available for examination in the office of the County Executive of the County of Monroe and on https://www.monroecounty.gov/. This proposed legislation authorizes the amending of Part IV of the General Local Laws of Monroe County to add a new chapter to include Chapter 387, the Monroe County Animal Abuse Registration Act to protect animals and promote public safety. The creation of the registry would allow Monroe County to strengthen its ability to identify individuals convicted of animal abuse, enforce applicable restrictions, help prevent repeat offenders from acquiring additional animals, and thus, promote greater accountability. Its adoption would strengthen existing protections, improve coordination among relevant agencies and organizations, and demonstrate that Monroe County will take meaningful action to safeguard animals from further harm.ADAM J. BELLO Monroe County ExecutiveDated: October 20, 2026 Rochester, New York 4205489 10-20-1t
