Relates to judicial districts
This bill adds two new judicial districts (14 and 15) to New York State's fourth judicial department. District 14 covers Onondaga County, while District 15 includes Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Genesee, Livingston, Niagara, Orleans, Steuben, and Wyoming counties. The bill directly affects residents in these counties by assigning them to new court jurisdictions and protects current court staff in affected areas by preserving their job rights and compensation during the transition. It also updates the number of supreme court justices for all districts, including adding nine justices for the new 14th district and thirteen for the 15th district.
