Increases the number of judges in certain courts

This bill adds three family court judges and three civil court judges specifically for Richmond County, New York. It directly affects Richmond County residents by increasing court capacity to handle family and civil cases there. The bill requires at least three family court judges to be residents of Richmond County and creates three new civil court judge positions elected countywide from Richmond. These positions will be filled via election in November 2025, with terms beginning January 2026. The new judges will receive the same compensation as existing civil court judges.
