2023-S6854 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 
BILL NUMBER: S6854

SPONSOR: HOYLMAN-SIGAL
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend chapter 455 of the laws of 1997, amending the New York
city civil court act and the civil practice law and rules relating to
authorizing New York city marshals to exercise the same functions,
powers and duties as sheriffs with respect to the execution of money
judgments of the supreme and family courts of the city of New York and
defining the term "the sheriff" as used therein, in relation to extend-
ing the effectiveness of such chapter

 
PURPOSE OF BILL:

Extends until 2024, provisions which confer on New York City Marshals
the same functions, powers and duties as Sheriffs with respect to the
execution of money judgments of the Supreme and Family Courts.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Amends Section 3 of Chapter 455 of the Laws of 1997, as

amended by Chapter 47 of the Laws of 2020, to extend the-effective date
until June 30, 2024.

Section 2. Effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

New York City Marshals are primarily responsible for executing judgments
rendered by the Civil Court of the City of New York, serving summonses
and executing other judgment orders. The City Marshals are supervised by
the New York City Department of Investigation and pay a percentage of
their gross income to the City.  They are required to provide for their
own operating expenses, including maintenance of their office, clerical
staff and transportation.

In 1997,1999, 2004, 2014, 2019, 2020, 2022 and again in 2023, legis-
lation was passed to allow New York City Marshals to enforce money judg-
ments rendered by the Supreme and Family Courts in New York City. There
remains a tremendous need, especially with respect to child support
judgments, for increased enforcement of money judgments in the City.
Utilizing the services of New York City Marshals for such enforcement
has allowed the Marshals to lend their efforts to fulfilling this need.
This program has worked exceptionally well since its inception and
should be continued.
