Relates to expanding the available jurisdiction for issuing information subpoenas

This bill expands the geographic reach of information subpoenas issued by small claims courts to cover the entire state rather than just local areas. It directly affects individuals who have won small claims judgments but are still owed money, allowing them to request subpoenas to locate witnesses or evidence anywhere within the state. Under the new rules, small claims clerks will continue to provide these subpoenas at a low cost and offer help with their preparation, while courts retain the authority to punish contempt of court for non-compliance. The changes apply uniformly across New York City civil courts, uniform city courts, uniform district courts, and uniform justice courts.
