BILL NUMBER:S5895 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to special proceedings SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of this bill amends section 506 of the civil practice law and rules by adding a new subdivision 5 which would allow an inmate filing an article 78 petition challenging a denial of release by the board of parole to be able to file such petition in the county of his or her conviction, in addition to the county of incarceration and Albany County. Section two is the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Counties have often complained that their courts are burdened by applications from inmates for poor person status followed by petitions for appeals from administrative determinations, parole denials, marriage applications, divorce applications, frivolous lawsuits and other such matters generated by inmates housed in counties with prisons. Counties such as Clinton, Franklin, Chemung, Essex, Washington, Wyoming, Livingston and others send very few citizens to prison but bear the disproportionate impact of inmate litigation because the prisons are located in these counties.
