AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation  to  warrant  of
  arrest

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 120.30 of the  criminal  procedure
law is amended to read as follows:
  2.    The  particular  local  criminal  court or courts with which any
particular local criminal court accusatory instrument may be  filed  for
the  purpose of obtaining a warrant of arrest are determined, generally,
by the provisions of section 100.55.  If, however, a particular  accusa-
tory  instrument  may  pursuant  to  said section 100.55 be filed with a
particular town OR CITY court and such town OR CITY court is not  avail-
able  at  the  time  such instrument is sought to be filed and a warrant
obtained, such accusatory instrument may be filed with the town OR  CITY
court of any adjoining town OR CITY of the same county.  If such instru-
ment  may  be  filed  pursuant  to said section 100.55 with a particular
village court and such village court is not available at  the  time,  it
may  be  filed with the town OR CITY court of the town OR CITY embracing
such village, or if such town OR CITY court  is  not  available  either,
with  the  town  OR CITY court of any adjoining town OR CITY of the same
county.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the first of November next succeed-
ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
