§ 112-a. Expedited calendaring of adoption proceedings. 1. The
adoption proceeding shall be deemed filed upon receipt by the clerk of
the court of all the documents required in subdivisions two, two-a,
three, five and seven of section one hundred twelve of this title, and
by rules of the court, together with an affidavit of readiness from the
petitioner's attorney. The affidavit of readiness shall attest that the
petitioner has prepared a petition for the adoption of the child and has
collected documentation as required by such rules and subdivisions two,
two-a, three and five of section one hundred twelve of this title.

2. Upon the filing of the documents required by subdivision one of
this section, the court, pursuant to rules promulgated by the chief
administrator of the court, shall schedule the proceeding for a review,
to take place within time frames established by such rules, to determine
if there is adequate basis for approving the adoption.

(a) If such basis is found, the appearance of the adoptive parents and
child before the court for approval of the adoption shall be calendared
pursuant to such rules.

(b) If, upon the court's review, the court finds that there is not an
adequate basis for approval of the adoption, the court shall direct such
further hearings, submissions or appearances as may be required, and the
proceedings shall be adjourned as required for such purposes.

3. The chief administrator of the court shall establish by rule time
frames for the calendaring and disposition of adoption proceedings and
shall report by the thirty-first day of December of each year to the
governor and the temporary president of the senate, speaker of the
assembly, and chairpersons of the judiciary and children and families
committees on the implementation of such rules and their impact upon
adoptions from authorized agencies.
