Amends New York State Constitution to change family court judge selection from appointment to election.

This bill proposes an amendment to the New York State Constitution to change the method of selecting family court judges from appointment by the mayor to election by voters. Currently, family court judges are appointed for ten-year terms by the mayor of New York City. This bill would require these judges to be chosen by the electors of the counties within New York City from districts established by law. The change aims to increase democratic participation in the selection of family court judges.
