Relates to judicial districts
This bill reorganizes the state's court structure by creating three new judicial districts within the fourth judicial department and redefining the boundaries of all sixteen judicial districts across the state. The legislation specifically assigns the counties of Onondaga, Monroe, and Erie to these newly established districts while adjusting the composition of existing districts to reflect these changes. Additionally, the bill updates the number of supreme court justices allocated to each district to match the new geographic divisions. These adjustments aim to align the judicial system's administrative layout with current county configurations without altering the rights or compensation of existing court officers.
