Title of bill
An act to amend the judiciary law, in relation to judges in the eighth judicial district
Purpose
The purpose of this legislation is to limit, in the eighth judicial district, the number of judges that can be from anyone county.
Summary of provisions
Subdivision 8 of section 140-a of the judiciary law is amended
Justification
The eighth judicial district is composed of the following counties: Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Orleans, Genesee, Allegany, Niagara, Wyoming, and Erie, and has twenty-six judges. This legislation would restrict to twenty-two, the number of judges that could come from anyone county. This restriction would allow counties with a smaller population the ability to elect judges to the judicial district.
