A 3849 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Repeals section 470 of the judiciary law relating to allowing attorneys having offices in the state to reside in an adjoining state

This bill repeals Section 470 of New York's Judiciary Law, which previously allowed attorneys with offices in New York to reside in neighboring states. It directly affects attorneys who maintain a New York law practice but live in adjacent states (like New Jersey or Connecticut). The change removes a specific residency allowance, meaning such attorneys would no longer have this provision in the law governing their practice. The bill makes no other changes to attorney licensing or practice rules.
