Expands civil jurisdiction of county courts to $50,000 and district courts to $35,000.

New York Senate bill S07697 proposes amendments to the state constitution to expand the civil jurisdiction of county courts to matters involving up to fifty thousand dollars and district courts to matters involving up to thirty-five thousand dollars. This change would allow these courts to handle a broader range of cases, including those for the recovery of money, chattels, and foreclosure of liens on personal property, provided the amount sought does not exceed the specified limits.
