Relates to actions or proceedings involving section one of article nineteen of the state constitution

Summary

The bill adds a new rule to the Civil Practice Law and Rules that restricts where lawsuits involving section 1 of Article 19 of the state constitution can be filed. Such cases may only be heard in designated courts in New York, Westchester, Albany, or Erie counties, as long as at least one plaintiff resides in that judicial department. The change is intended to concentrate these specialized cases in a limited set of courts.
