Bill > S05947

This bill authorizes the town of Pavilion in Genesee County and the town of Covington in Wyoming County to share a justice court, despite potential conflicting laws or regulations. Specifically, the two towns have jointly agreed to allow the Pavilion town's justice court to be held in the town of Covington, which is in a different county. A justice court is a local court that typically handles minor criminal offenses, traffic violations, and civil disputes at the municipal level. By passing this bill, the two towns can collaborate and potentially improve judicial efficiency by consolidating their court resources across county lines. The act would take effect immediately upon passage, enabling the towns to implement their joint resolution and shared court arrangement.
