Repeals section 470 of the judiciary law relating to allowing attorneys having offices in the state to reside in an adjoining state

This bill repeals a specific provision (Section 470) in New York's Judiciary Law that previously allowed attorneys with offices in New York to reside in neighboring states. It directly affects attorneys licensed to practice in New York who currently live in adjacent states like New Jersey or Connecticut. The key mechanism is the removal of this residency exception, meaning attorneys must now reside within New York State to maintain their license. The bill makes no other changes to attorney licensing rules and focuses solely on eliminating this specific exemption.
