The authority and responsibility for publicizing, administering and enforcing this chapter shall be in the Town Fair Housing Officer, to be designated by the Supervisor of the Town of Chenango.

This officer is appointed by the Town Supervisor, centralizing accountability for fair housing matters within one role. The provision does not create new substantive rights or prohibitions on its own, but it identifies who is responsible for carrying out the chapter's requirements.
