A 6782 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires the chief administrator of the courts to establish an online payment option for posting bail

This bill requires New York courts to create an online payment system for people to pay bail, fines, court fees, and other court-related costs using credit cards or similar methods. It directly affects individuals who need to make these payments, as well as courts, county clerks, and police departments handling pre-arraignment bail. Key provisions include allowing a reasonable administrative fee for online transactions, requiring coordination with the state comptroller to ensure proper fund handling, and mandating that police departments be given the opportunity to use the system for bail set by officers. The bill does not change bail amounts or eligibility but streamlines payment processes for existing court obligations.
