S 7158 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Authorizes renewals to the court of appeals based on a subsequent change in law

This bill allows individuals who lost a case in the state Court of Appeals to ask the court to reconsider its ruling if a new state law has been passed that contradicts that decision. Under the new rules, eligible parties must file a motion within 90 days of the new law taking effect, after which the court will permit full written arguments and oral hearings focused solely on whether the court should change its original verdict. Additionally, the court is required to address any legal questions raised by the new statute, even if those specific issues were previously ruled as too late to be raised. This process aims to ensure that court decisions remain consistent with the most current laws enacted by the legislature.
