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 in the state's judiciary law that previously allowed lawyers with offices in the state to live in a neighboring state. By repealing Section 470, the legislation ends this exception, meaning attorneys must now reside within the state to maintain their local practice. The change applies immediately to all lawyers currently relying on this provision and affects anyone seeking to establish a legal office in the state.
