BILL NUMBER:S6697 REVISED 06/29/10
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to bureaus of administrative adjudication
Purpose of bill
This bill will create a Bureau of Administrative Adjudication for the City of Yonkers.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends section 380 of the general municipal law, as added by chapter 382 of the laws of 1995, by adding a new Section 2 to allow Yonkers to create a Bureau of Administrative Adjudication.
Existing law
Present law allows municipalities having a population of more than three hundred thousand, but less than three hundred fifty thousand to create a Bureau of Administrative Adjudication.
Justification
Yonkers City Court calendar has become overburdened with the prosecution of these minor city code and ordinance violations and seeks to facilitate and improve the expeditious and efficient enforcement of city code and ordinance violations through an administrative adjudication procedure.
This bill will allow Yonkers to establish an administrative adjudication bureau. Buffalo was allowed this option two years ago under the current law.
Legislative history
New bill- 2010.

Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
