Bill > S07674

This bill amends the Uniform City Court Act to modify the residency requirements for the part-time judge of the Lackawanna city court. Currently, judges are typically required to reside in the city where they serve, but this bill specifically allows the part-time judge of the Lackawanna city court to reside anywhere in Erie County, instead of being limited to the city of Lackawanna. The bill repeals the previous residency restriction and updates the language to explicitly permit this broader geographic residence. This change provides more flexibility for the part-time judge in terms of where they can live while still serving the Lackawanna city court. The bill includes standard legal language specifying that it will take effect immediately upon passage, and it follows the typical legislative format of amending existing law by inserting new language and removing outdated provisions.
