BILL NUMBER:S3139
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the judiciary law, in relation to establishing a second county
court judgeship in the county of Chenango
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
Provides for the new office of judge of the county court in the County
of Chenango and state that each county court judge in the County of
Chenango shall also act as and discharge the duties of county court
judge, judge of the family court and surrogate of such county.
EXISTING LAW:
Provides for one county court judgeship in Chenango County.
JUSTIFICATION:
Currently, a single judge presides over all Family, County (criminal
and civil), and Surrogate Courts for Chenango County. The caseload
for this Multi-Bench judge is tremendous. Rural areas are no longer
immune to the ravage of crime. The county has observed increases in
burglary, DWI offenses, drug use, domestic violence, and abuse, which
have created a large caseload that warrants the appointment of a
second judge. The caseload has made it increasingly difficult for the
single Multi-Bench judge to continue to process such a number of
cases in a timely and fair manner.
