BILL NUMBER:S6338
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 455 of the laws of 1997 amending the New York city civil court act and the civil practice law and rules relating to authorizing New York city marshals to exercise the same functions, powers and duties as sheriffs with respect to the execution of money judgments, in relation to extending the effectiveness of such chapter
Purpose
Extends until 2019, provisions which confer on New York City Marshals the same functions, powers and duties as Sheriffs with respect to the execution of money judgments of the Supreme and Family Courts.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Amends Section 3 of Chapter 455 of the Laws of 1997, as amended by Chapter 71 of the Laws of 1999, Chapter 128 of the Laws of 2004 and. Chapter 103 of the Laws of 2009, to extend the effective date until June 30, 2019.
Justification
New York City Marshals are primarily responsible for executing judgments rendered by the Civil Court of the City of New York, serving summonses and executing other judgment orders. The City Marshals are supervised by the New York City Department of Investigation and pay a percentage of their gross income to the City. They are required to provide for their own operating expenses, including maintenance of their office, clerical staff and transportation.
In 1997, 1999, 2004 and again in 2009, legislation was passed to allow New York City Marshals to enforce money judgments rendered by the Supreme and Family Courts in New York City. There remains a tremendous need, especially with respect to child support judgments, for increased enforcement of money judgments in the City. Utilizing the services of New York City Marshals for such enforcement has allowed the Marshals to lend their efforts to fulfilling this need.
This program has worked exceptionally well since 1997 and should be continued.
