NY A09061

Amends Correction Law Section 500-a, Subdivision 2-t to permit county correctional facilities to detain persons 18 years of age or older under arrest awaiting arraignment in off-hours arraignment parts established by the chief administrator of the courts.

Amends Correction Law Section 500-c, Subdivision 26 to apply all provisions equally to persons 18 years of age or older held by the sheriff under arrest for arraignment prior to commitment, treating them as if judicially committed and permitting detention in county correctional facilities.

Takes effect on the same date and manner as the 2019 legislation (S. 5593 and A. 7647) that originally authorized off-hours arraignment parts, with the Section 500-c amendments deemed to repeal with that section.
