N.Y. Judiciary Law § 799-a: Notice of application for remission and discharge and costs on remission

§ 799-a. Notice of application for remission and discharge and costs

on remission. An application for an order, as prescribed in section

seven hundred and ninety-eight, cannot be heard, until such notice

thereof as the court deems reasonable, has been given to the

district-attorney of the county, and until he has had an opportunity to

examine the matter, and prepare to resist the application. And upon

granting such an order, the court must always impose, as a condition

thereof, the payment of the costs and expenses, if any, incurred in an

action or special proceeding for the collection of the fine, or the

penalty of the recognizance.
