WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (WENY) -- Schuyler County is the latest county in New York considering suing the state over Governor Kathy Hochul's executive order that banned fired striking Corrections Officers from seeking other public employment.

The Governor's executive order bars around 2,000 fired officers from being hired into any local or state positions, citing New York's Taylor Law, that prohibits public employees from striking.

According to a resolution, posted on Schuyler County's website, New York's executive order is an "abuse of authority and discretion" which puts the county on the back foot. Lawmakers argue that they need more staffing at the Schuyler County Correctional Facility and the 911 Dispatch Center, saying that hiring interested former CO's would save the county in overtime costs.

Former and current guards have applied for positions at the County Correctional Facility, according to the resolution. Schuyler County legislators argue that hiring the former CO's would save them in additional expenses like training costs.

The resolution would authorize the Schuyler County Attorney to pursue legal action against New York State and Gov. Hochul.

Lawmakers will vote on it in a special session on Monday, March 24.

The Chemung County Executive and Chemung County Sheriff previously filed a lawsuit against New York's Governor and the Department of Criminal Justice Services.

Chemung County officials said they filed the suit because they feel they need to hire the fired officers to fill critical public safety positions.

Below is the full agenda of the Schuyler County Legislature Special Meeting scheduled for March 24, which includes the resolution:
