Relates to filing by electronic means; repealer
This bill updates New York State laws to require the chief administrator of the courts to submit an annual report evaluating the state's electronic filing programs for civil and criminal cases. The report must include recommendations for future legislation and be prepared after consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, including county clerks, district attorneys, bar associations, legal service providers, and unaffiliated attorneys. Additionally, the bill mandates the maintenance of specific advisory committees to gather input from these same groups on how electronic filing systems impact litigants, practitioners, and the courts. Finally, the legislation includes provisions to make public comments on these programs available for review on the Office of Court Administration's website.
