MINOR
This bill was amended to add more sponsors and update the legislative history, while making substantive changes to data reporting requirements for New York courts. The most significant change is adding 'to the greatest extent practicable' language to clarify that town and village courts are not required to report data if it is not feasible for them to do so.
Scope change
The bill now explicitly acknowledges that town and village courts may not be able to report all required data due to practical limitations, reducing the burden on smaller courts.
REQUIREMENT
Added 'to the greatest extent practicable' language regarding data reporting by town and village courts, acknowledging their limited capacity to collect and report certain data.
TIMELINE
Changed the effective date from a complex staggered schedule to a single effective date of two years after the bill becomes law.
TECHNICAL
Added additional sponsors (MEEKS, BERGER) and updated committee status to reflect that the bill was amended, discharged, and recommitted.
