Relates to actions or proceedings involving section one of article nineteen of the state constitution

This bill establishes specific court locations for legal cases concerning Article 19, Section 1 of the state constitution, which governs constitutional amendments. Under the new rules, lawsuits must be filed in the county where at least one of the involved parties lives, with designated courts in New York, Westchester, Albany, and Erie counties. The law defines these cases broadly to include any legal dispute related to proposing, placing on the ballot, or interpreting constitutional amendments. This change clarifies where such proceedings must take place to ensure they are handled in the correct judicial department.
