BILL NUMBER:S4256 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to disclo- sure in New York state in an action pending in another jurisdiction This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of the Chief Administrative Judge on the recommendation of her Advisory Committee on Civil Practice. In 2008, on the advice of our Advisory Committee, we recommended amend- ing the CPLR to adopt the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (" Act") as promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws in 2007. The Act sets forth an efficient and inexpensive procedure for litigants to depose out-of-state individuals and for the production of discoverable materials that may be located outside the trial state. In 2009, we again endorse New York's adoption of the Act. This year, however, we amend our proposal by (1) adding a subparagraph (b)(4) to CPLR section 3119 to ensure that the law is clear regarding the ability of an attorney, licensed to practice in this state and retained by a party to an out-of-state-proceeding, to issue a subpoena under this Act and (2) adding a reference to CPLR Article 23 in proposed new section 3119(b)(2) and a reference to CPLR Article 31 in proposed new section 3119(d) to make it explicit that these articles apply to this Act.
