Creates the fourteenth judicial district consisting of the county of Erie and a supreme court library at Erie
This bill creates a new fourteenth judicial district in New York State, consisting solely of Erie County, which will separate it from the existing eighth judicial district. It designates the existing law library in Erie County as the official supreme court library for the new district, to be managed by a board of trustees appointed by the district's justices. The bill also ensures that court employees currently serving in Erie County will continue in their roles under the new district structure, with specific justices assigned to the fourteenth district for remaining terms. These changes take effect on January 1, 2026.
