A proposed New York bill that aims to designate Albany County trial courts as the lone venue that could hear redistricting lawsuits has captured the attention of elections lawyers in the Empire State.
Filed by Sen. Zellnor Myrie, D-Brooklyn, and Assemblyman William Magnarelli, D-Syracuse, the legislation is meant to thwart partisan forum shopping while enabling the state Supreme Court of Albany County to develop an expertise in redistricting lawsuits, according to the language of S3292B/A435A.
