Relates to electronic filing for the court of appeals

This bill authorizes the New York Court of Appeals to create rules allowing the electronic filing and service of legal documents for both civil and criminal cases. It specifically permits digital submission of briefs, motions, and other papers while ensuring that unrepresented individuals and certain attorneys are not required to use electronic systems. Before implementing these rules, the court must seek feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, including bar associations, legal service providers, and public defenders. The legislation takes effect on July 1 of the following year, with the court allowed to finalize necessary technical rules immediately.
