Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the judiciary law, in relation to the number of justices of the supreme court in the thirteenth judicial district
AI Summary
This bill increases the number of Supreme Court justices in the thirteenth judicial district of New York from nine to ten. Specifically, the legislation amends the existing judiciary law to add one additional justice, with Justice Thomas P. Aliotta being designated as the new justice for the remainder of his current term. The additional justice will first be elected during the November 2026 general election and will take office on January 1, 2027. This change effectively expands the judicial capacity of the thirteenth district by creating one more Supreme Court justice position, which could help manage the district's caseload more efficiently. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing for the immediate implementation of the judicial expansion.
