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

This bill removes a rule that currently permits lawyers who maintain offices in the state to live in a neighboring state. By repealing Section 470 of the Judiciary Law, the legislation ends this specific residency exception for attorneys. The change directly affects legal professionals who previously relied on this provision to reside outside the state while practicing locally. Once enacted, attorneys will no longer be able to use this particular exception to their residency requirements.
