New York A03287 authorizes the Monroe county jail for detaining persons under arrest for arraignment in Monroe County courts.

New York A03287 amends the correction law to allow the Monroe county jail to detain individuals arrested and awaiting arraignment in any Monroe County court. The bill adds a new provision to section 500-a of the correction law, specifying that the Monroe county jail can be used for this purpose. It also amends section 500-c to clarify that the sheriff can hold such individuals in the Monroe county jail as if they had been judicially committed. The changes take effect immediately, though a related repeal in section 500-c is unaffected.
