A proposal to increase the allocation of city court judges passed the state Legislature this year and the bill is waiting to be sent to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his approval. The increase would mean another judge for Buffalo, Newburgh, Rochester, Schenectady, Syracuse and Yonkers and other cities would get the increase of a part-time equivalent judge.
The complete list of recommendations and when they should take effect can be found below.
The increase is based on recommendations from an ad hoc city court advisory committee, which proposed modifications that were included in legislation enacted over the last quarter century, with the last enacted changes in 2006. The latest recommendations are based on caseloads, demographics, judicial resources and available facilities.
According to the bill memo, "All changes are submitted with the approval of the Mayors and judges of each city affected."
This bill is one of nearly 80 pieces of legislation that passed the Assembly and state Senate this year and have not yet been sent to Cuomo for his approval or veto.
