A 11483 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the towns of Ellington and Charlotte in Chautauqua county to elect a single town justice to preside in the town courts of such towns

This bill allows the towns of Ellington and Charlotte in Chautauqua County to replace their current separate town justices with one single justice to handle court cases for both communities. The law permits this change because the towns have already completed a required study, held public hearings, and passed resolutions to abolish existing justice positions and elect a shared official. The newly elected justice will begin serving after the next general election and will hold office for a one-year term. This measure takes effect immediately upon approval.
