Bill > S07736

This bill amends the New York State Judiciary Law to provide the State Commission on Judicial Conduct with a new power: directly transmitting its annual budget request to the governor for inclusion in the executive budget. Specifically, the bill allows the commission to submit its budget request without revision, though the governor retains the ability to add recommendations to the request. This change gives the commission more direct control over its budgetary process by establishing a clear pathway for submitting its funding needs. The bill is straightforward and technical in nature, aimed at providing a more transparent and streamlined approach to budget preparation for this judicial oversight body. The amendment will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the commission to utilize this new budgetary transmission method right away.
