A 8879 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Repeals section 470 of the judiciary law relating to allowing attorneys having offices in the state to reside in an adjoining state

This bill removes a specific rule from the state's judiciary law that currently permits lawyers with offices in the state to live in a neighboring state. By repealing Section 470, the legislation eliminates this exception, meaning attorneys must now reside within the state to maintain their local practice. The change takes effect immediately upon passage and applies to all lawyers subject to the state's judicial regulations.
