AN ACT to amend the judiciary law, in relation to  reporting  an  attor-

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

  Section 1. Paragraph c of subdivision 4 of section 90 of the judiciary
law, as added by chapter 674 of the laws of 1979, is amended to read  as
follows:
  c.  Whenever  an attorney shall be convicted of a crime in a court [of
record] of the United States or of any  state,  territory  or  district,
including  this state, whether by a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or
from a verdict after trial or otherwise, the attorney shall file, within
thirty days thereafter, with  the  appellate  division  of  the  supreme
court, the record of such conviction.
  The  failure  of  the attorney to so file shall be deemed professional
misconduct provided, however,  that  the  appellate  division  may  upon
application of the attorney, grant an extension upon good cause shown.
  S  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately; provided, however, it
shall apply only as to convictions that occur on or after such effective
date.
