A 8002 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Increases the jurisdictional limits for county courts and district courts to fifty thousand dollars

Bill A 8002 proposes to amend the state constitution to expand the types of cases county and district courts can handle. It increases the maximum financial amount for certain lawsuits that can be heard in these courts. For county courts, the limit for cases involving money recovery, chattel recovery, and specific lien foreclosures would rise from $25,000 to $50,000. Similarly, for district courts, the limit for these same types of cases would increase from $15,000 to $50,000. This adjustment would allow individuals and businesses to pursue larger claims in county and district courts.
