Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the judiciary law, in relation to the seal of Cortland county and of the county clerk, supreme court and county court

Purpose

To include provisions in law for the description of the official seal of Cortland County.

Summary of provisions

Amends the Judiciary Law by adding a new section 30-f in relation to the seal of Cortland County, the county clerk and the supreme and county court.

Justification

The Cortland County emblem which is depicted in the stained glass dome of the Cortland County Courthouse, the brass doorknobs of the courthouse and much of the county's stationary more closely represents Cortland County than the current seal used by the county clerk. The current seal has become worn, unrecognizable and needs to be replaced. No original of this seal exists and Cortland County would like to officially adopt a new seal which is commonly recognized and used throughout the county as a logo.
