Submitted by FeldmanJ on Fri, 06/02/2023 - 16:20

MAYVILLE, N.Y. – On Tuesday, May 30 Chautauqua County Executive Paul “PJ” M. Wendel Jr. extended the county’s emergency order issued in response to the City of New York’s intentions to send migrants and asylum seekers to other counties.

Due to the economic, health care, safety and security burdens this migration would have on Chautauqua County, Wendel enacted a local State of Emergency and issued the emergency order which took effect on May 18, 2023.

The order prohibits municipalities from bringing and housing people in the County, prohibits hotels and motels from housing immigrants without a license, and requires any municipalities that might bring migrating or asylum-seeking people into Chautauqua County to ensure they will be fully cared for and paid for.

While the State of Emergency will remain in effect for 30 days, at which time it may be extended, the emergency order according to law is extended in five-day intervals.
