Proposed Legislation

On April 27, 2007, then Governor Eliot Spitzer proposed to the Legislature a comprehensive constitutional amendment to restructure New York State's courts, along the lines the Special Commission proposed. The proposal was introduced by Senator John DeFrancisco (Chair, Senate Judiciary Committee) as Senate Bill 5827.
