Increases the number of county court judges in Schenectady county

This bill proposes to increase the number of county court judges in Schenectady County from one to two. The change would allow for an additional judge to be elected during the general election on November 5, 2024, with the new judge taking office on January 1, 2025. By adding a second judge, the legislation aims to expand the judicial capacity available to handle cases in that specific county.
