BILL NUMBER:S4596 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the uniform city court act and the judiciary law, in relation to judges of city courts This measure is being introduced at the request of the Chief Judge of the State and the Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of the latter's Ad Hoc City Court Advisory Committee. It proposes modifica- tions in many City Court judgeships including, in some instances, conversion of part-time positions to full-time status. It is a follow-up to similar legislation enacted in 1988, 1995, 2001 and 2006. I. PROPOSAL For more than 30 years following the State takeover of local court fund- ing (see L. 1976, c. 966; Judiciary Law § 39), the Judiciary and the Legislature have collaborated closely to ensure that the structure and resources of the State's 61 City Courts outside New York City are well- suited to community needs. Every four or five years, this Office, with the assistance of a committee of sitting City Court judges represen- tative of all regions of the State and courts of varying sizes, under- takes a detailed study of City Court operations around the State. This study produces a series of recommendations for reform, which then are passed on to the Legislature for its approval(1).
