N.Y. Judiciary Law § 219: Capital plans for court facilities

§ 219. Capital plans for court facilities. The chief executive officer

of each political subdivision of the state specified in paragraph (a) of

subdivision two of section thirty-nine of this chapter shall, not later

than twenty-four months after the effective date of this section,

prepare and submit to the chief administrator an assessment of the

suitability and sufficiency for the transaction of business of the

facilities it furnishes the courts, together with a plan for the

acquisition, design, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation,

improvement and financing of such facilities and such additional

facilities as may be needed by the unified court system as reasonably

determined by the chief administrator after consultation with the chief

executive officer. In making such determinations, the chief

administrator may establish priorities among the facilities' needs

within each political subdivision if he or she determines that it is

practicable and in the best interests of the unified court system to do

so. Each such assessment and plan shall be in the form prescribed by the

chief administrator and prepared in compliance with such standards and

administrative policies as may be promulgated pursuant to section

twenty-eight of article six of the constitution and shall be subject to

the approval of the court facilities capital review board. Following

such approval, they shall constitute the capital plan for the political

subdivision by which they were prepared.
