Establishes the fourteenth judicial district

This bill creates a new fourteenth judicial district in New York State by combining the counties of Putnam, Dutchess, Orange, and Rockland. The legislation reorganizes the state's judicial departments to include this new district and adjusts the number of Supreme Court justices assigned to each district, reducing the count for the ninth district while adding eleven positions to the newly formed fourteenth. It also specifies which current judges will remain in the ninth district and which will transfer to the new fourteenth district based on their current locations and terms. The changes are designed to take effect on January 1, 2025, ensuring a structured transition for court officials.
