BILL NUMBER:S3450
Title of bill
An act to amend the judiciary law, in relation to requiring the designation and assignment of not less than one supreme court justice to hold court in the county seat of each county within the judicial district
Purpose
To provide that a supreme court judge holds court at the county seat of each county in the judicial district.
Summary of provisions
Amends the judiciary law by adding that the justices of the appellate division shall assign at least one supreme court justice to hold court at the county seat of each of the counties in the judicial district.
Justification
This legislation would provide that smaller populated counties within a judicial district are provided fair access to judicial court proceedings.
Many of the larger counties within a judicial district have increasingly elected Judges from their counties thus preventing equal access to court proceedings for people living in less populated counties. This bill would ensure less populated counties will have access to Supreme Court proceedings within their own county regardless of where the Supreme Court Justice resides.
Legislative history
This is a new bill.
Fiscal implications
To be determined.
Effective date
This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have become a law.
