                                BILL NUMBER:S4518

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the correction law, in relation to authorizing the
Schenectady county correctional facility to also be used for the
detention of persons under arrest being held for arraignment in any
court located in the county of Schenectady

PURPOSE:

Relates to authorizing the Schenectady county correctional facility to
also be used for the detention of persons under arrest being held for
arraignment in any court located in the county of Schenectady.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - Amends Section 500-a of the Correction Law by adding
subdivision 2-n that allows the Schenectady County jail to detain
persons under arrest being held for arraignment in any court in
Schenectady County.

subdivision 20 to provide that in Schenectady County all provisions of
the section shall apply equally in any case where the sheriff is
holding a person under arrest for arraignment prior to commitment as

if such person had been judicially committed to the custody of the
sheriff and such person may be held in the Schenectady county
correctional facility

Section 3 is the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

The Schenectady County Legislature is requesting legislation, which
would permit the use of the Schenectady County jail by various police

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately; provided further, that the
amendments to section 500-c of the correction law, as made by section
