A 5941 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Authorizes the towns of Harmony and North Harmony in Chautauqua county to elect a single town justice to preside in the town courts of such towns

This bill allows the towns of Harmony and North Harmony in Chautauqua County to replace their current town justices with one single justice who will serve both communities. The law authorizes this change only after the towns have completed a required study, held a public hearing, and passed a joint resolution supporting the plan. Once elected, the new single town justice will begin serving at the next general election for a one-year term, consolidating judicial leadership across the two towns.
