TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the judiciary law, in relation to requiring the report-
ing of completed judicial training as mandated by part 17 of the rules
of the chief judge of the New York state unified court system

 
PURPOSE:

To ensure compliance with mandatory judicial training as outlined by the
rules of the chief judge of the New York state unified court system.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Amends the judiciary law by adding a new paragraph (if) to
subdivision 2 of section 212 which shall mandate a yearly report,
created by the chief administrator, on mandatory judicial training as
outlined by the rules of the chief judge of the New York state unified
court system.

Section 2. Sets effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Per part seventeen of the rules of the Chief Judge of the New York State
Unified Court System, training and education is provided for its judges
and justices. This includes annual seminars, special seminars for new
judges, anti-bias training, and other courses, classes, and presenta-
tions that the Chief Administrator of the Courts deems appropriate in
consultation and agreement with the Administrative Board of the Courts.
Judges and justices must currently attend at least 24 hours of such
training and education courses, including a minimum of two hours of
anti-bias and domestic violence training, every two calendar years. It
is critical that judges across the state stay in compliance with this
mandate, and such compliance information should be available.
