Creates the fourteenth judicial district consisting of the county of Erie and a supreme court library at Erie
This bill creates the fourteenth judicial district for New York State, which will consist solely of Erie County. The legislation establishes a new supreme court library in Erie to serve this district and outlines how existing court staff will be reassigned to either the new district or the reorganized eighth district, which will cover several other counties. It also details the appointment of specific judges to the new district and sets the rules for selecting future justices through elections in 2026. Additionally, the bill grants the new library trustees authority to manage the facility, acquire books, and employ necessary staff.
