Relates to the timing of proceedings against a body or an officer
This bill changes the deadline for filing lawsuits against government bodies or officials in New York. It requires such legal proceedings to be started within four months after a government decision becomes final and is served, or after a demand for action is refused. The clock starts five days after a mailed notice is sent, and a two-year extension applies if the person filing the case was under a legal disability (like being a minor) when the decision became final. This affects individuals or groups challenging government actions by setting a clear, shorter timeframe for legal action.
