 ___________

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

 AN ACT to amend the judiciary law, in relation to requiring the chief
 administrator of the courts to establish an online payment option for
 posting bail

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (j) of subdivision 2 of section 212 of the judi-
 2 ciary law, as amended by chapter 457 of the laws of 2005, is amended to
 3 read as follows:
 4 (j) Notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
 5 contrary, establish a system, including an option for online payment,
 6 for the posting of bail and the payment of fines, mandatory surcharges,
 7 court fees, and other monies payable to a court, county clerk in [his or
 8 her] their capacity as clerk of court, or the office of court adminis-
 9 tration, or to a sheriff upon enforcing a court order or delivering a
 10 court mandate pursuant to article eighty of the civil practice law and
 11 rules, by means of a credit card or similar device. Notwithstanding any
 12 provision of law to the contrary, the chief administrator may require a
 13 party making a payment in such manner also to pay a reasonable adminis-
 14 trative fee. In establishing such system, the chief administrator shall
 15 seek the assistance of the state comptroller who shall assist in devel-
 16 oping such system so as to ensure that such funds shall be returned to
 17 any jurisdiction which, by law, may be entitled to them. The chief
 18 administrator shall periodically accord the head of each police depart-
 19 ment or police force and of any state department, agency, board, commis-
 20 sion or public authority having police officers who fix pre-arraignment
 21 [bail pursuant to section 150.30 of the criminal procedure law] an
 22 opportunity to have the system established pursuant to this paragraph
 23 apply to the posting of pre-arraignment bail with police officers under
 24 [his or her] their jurisdiction.
 25 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 26 it shall have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
