BILL NUMBER:S5143
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the state finance law, in relation to providing funds for the
public defense backup center of the New York State Defenders Association
PURPOSE:
To provide for funding under the indigent legal services fund
for the New York State Defenders Association.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Amends section 98-b of the State
Finance Law to include services and expenses of the public defense
backup center of the New York State Defenders Association.
Further allocates $2 million to be made available for the public
defense backup center of the New York State Defenders Association.
JUSTIFICATION:
The New York State Defenders Association through their
public defense backup center provides important legal services for
those needing legal defense. As there is no dedicated funding for
this program each year this program must worry about its
sustainability due to the possibility of a lack of state funds.
Further by including this under the Indigent Legal Services Fund, the
program finds a statutory home that is germane to their core mission.
