N.Y. Family Court Act § 176: Inter-county probation

§ 176. Inter-county probation. 1. Transfer of probation supervision.

Where a person placed on probation resides in another jurisdiction

within the state at the time of the order of disposition, the family

court which placed him or her on probation may, and, in the case of

orders of probation issued under article three or seven of this act,

shall transfer probation supervision to the probation department in the

jurisdiction in which the person resides. Where, after a probation

disposition is pronounced, a probationer relocates to another

jurisdiction within the state, the family court which placed him or her

on probation may, and, in the case of orders of probation issued under

article three or seven of this act, shall transfer probation supervision

to the probation department in the jurisdiction of the probationer's new

residence. Upon completion of a transfer of probation supervision as

authorized pursuant to this subdivision, the probation department in the

receiving jurisdiction shall assume all powers and duties of the

probation department in the jurisdiction of the family court which

placed the probationer on probation. Any transfer under this subdivision

must be in accordance with rules adopted by the commissioner of the

division of criminal justice services.

2. For all cases brought under article three or seven of this act,

where probation supervision has been transferred under subdivision one

of this section, the family court in the receiving jurisdiction shall

hear any proceedings to enforce or modify the order of probation, unless

the receiving family court determines that there is good cause to return

the proceeding to the sending family court for adjudication, in which

case the proceeding shall be returned to the sending family court for

adjudication.

3. For the purpose of this section, "jurisdiction" shall mean a county

or the city of New York.
