New York Consolidated Laws, Judiciary Law - JUD § 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.
