 STATE OF NEW YORK

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 9, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. RAMOS -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the judiciary law, in relation to establishing gang
 courts; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expira-
 tion thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that
 2 the growth of criminal gang activities have created a public safety
 3 crisis and social disorder in many communities across our state. To this
 4 point, our system of justice has failed to successfully deter the spread
 5 of this criminality. Whether it is the distribution and sale of
 6 controlled substances, street crime, gun violence, prostitution or
 7 simply the climate of fear, intimidation, and disorder that poison our
 8 neighborhoods, many afflicted localities appear to be under siege. To
 9 address this problem, the state should be flexible and seek integrated
 10 ways of employing the resources of our judicial and criminal justice
 11 system and other state and local entities.
 12 Based on the foregoing findings the legislature hereby declares that
 13 the New York unified court system should be empowered to establish a
 14 gang court pilot program within available appropriations, to help
 15 address these broad based issues. The legislature contemplates that the
 16 program authorized in this act may consist of three special gang courts,
 17 one in the county of Orange, one in the county of Nassau, and one in the
 18 county of Suffolk, to hear and determine gang related criminal cases,
 19 properly venued in compliance with the criminal procedure law, from
 20 within each respective county, commencing no later than January first,
 21 two thousand twenty-six and continuing, at least, until January first,
 22 two thousand thirty-one.
 23 The legislature declares that the resources necessary for these
 24 special gang parts of the courts of Orange county, the courts of Nassau
 25 county, and the courts of Suffolk county can be made available only
 26 through a combination of federal funds from the law enforcement assist-

 6 GANG COURT PILOT PROGRAM
 7 Section 178. Special gang parts; establishment.
 8 178-a. Transfer of cases to special gang parts.
 9 178-b. Procedure in a special gang part.
 10 § 178. Special gang parts; establishment. 1. There may be established
 11 in the courts of Orange county, the courts of Nassau county, and the
 12 courts of Suffolk county special gang parts in such numbers and at such
 13 locations as shall be designated by the chief administrator of the
 14 courts, by administrative order, to effectuate the purposes of this
 15 article subject to availability of adequate funding within money appro-
 16 priated within a given fiscal year. Such parts shall hear and determine
 17 gang related criminal cases assigned thereto from any court within such
 18 counties.
 19 2. The chief administrator for the courts, in consultation with all
 20 appropriate state and county agencies, may request that all currently
 21 available resources be made available to the special gang court parts

 23 as de
