Bill > A02366

This bill amends the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) by introducing new provisions for court judgment entry and documentation of payment. The bill requires that judgments be entered immediately upon issuance and mandates that the chief administrative judge of New York create a document outlining payment of court-ordered awards. Specifically, when a court order involves monetary damages, the debtor must complete and file a notarized document with the court that indicates either immediate payment, a definitive payment schedule, or a commitment to pay after the appeals process is complete. The bill updates gender-neutral language in the existing law (replacing "him" with more inclusive terms) and establishes a more structured approach to documenting and tracking court-ordered payments. The amendments will take effect immediately, with the specific payment documentation requirements becoming operational 90 days after the law is enacted. The bill aims to improve transparency and accountability in the court judgment process by creating a more standardized method for tracking and verifying payments resulting from court orders.
