Establishes the fourteenth judicial district

S 1944 establishes New York's fourteenth judicial district, consisting of Putnam, Dutchess, Orange, and Rockland counties. This bill reorganizes the state's judicial district structure by adding the fourteenth district to the Judiciary Law, specifying it will have 11 supreme court justices. The bill ensures current court staff in these counties transition to the new district without affecting their rights or compensation, effective January 1, 2026. It directly affects the courts and administrative operations in those four counties.
