Establishes the fourteenth judicial district

Bill A 6134 establishes the fourteenth judicial district in New York, consisting of Putnam, Dutchess, Orange, and Rockland counties. This district replaces the previous ninth judicial district (which included those counties plus Westchester), with court staff in the affected counties transitioning to the new district on January 1, 2026. The bill also specifies that the fourteenth district will have 11 supreme court justices, adjusting the existing judicial district structure. This is a procedural boundary change with no substantive policy impact, solely reorganizing judicial administrative regions.
