act,  as  amended  by  section  1 of part L of chapter 56 of the laws of
2010, is amended to read as follows:
  1. A justice may hold court anywhere in the municipality including  in
the  case  of  a town justice anywhere within a village wholly or partly
contained within the town of which he is a justice regardless of whether
or not said village has a village court and in the  event  two  or  more
contiguous  villages  maintain  offices  in the same building, a village
justice of any such village may hold court in  such  building,  notwith-
standing  that the building is outside the boundaries of such village. A
town justice may hold court in an adjacent town providing  such  justice
has  been  elected  or  holds  office  pursuant to a plan established by
resolution which was adopted pursuant to the provisions of  section  one
hundred  six-a  of this article or the provisions of section one hundred
six-b of this article. A justice may hold court in one or  more  munici-
palities that form a contiguous geographic area, including in a town and
one  or more villages each of which is wholly or partly contained within
such town, within the  same  county  providing  there  is  an  agreement
between  such  municipalities pursuant to article [five-g] FIVE-G of the
general municipal law to hold all court proceedings in any of  the  such
municipalities  in  a  courtroom  or other suitable facility open to the
public.  FOR PURPOSES OF ARRAIGNMENTS, APPEARANCE PROCEEDINGS OR  PURSU-
ANT  TO A WARRANT, A JUSTICE MAY PRESIDE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTY PROVIDED
THAT:
