Amendment to Part 202.8(h) of the Uniform Civil Rules for the Supreme and County Courts Online

Though the amendment of Part 202.8(h) of the Uniform Rules for New York State Trial Courts took effect on Jan. 17, 2006, I've had difficulty locating the official text online until now. OCA has published the actual text of the amendment. Click on this link, then scroll down to section "h" to view the new section:

(h) 60-Day Rule. If 60 days have elapsed after a motion has been finally submitted or oral argument held, whichever was later, and no decision has been issued by the court, counsel for the movant shall send the court a letter alerting it to this fact with copies to all parties to the motion.

The Administrative Code of the City of New York is online . . . .

. . . to access it, go to the New York State Legislature's Public Legal Information page. From there, click on "Laws of New York." From there, scroll to the bottom of the page, passing "Consolidated Laws," "Unconsolidated Laws," "Court Acts," and "Rules." Under "Miscellaneous," choose the "ADC" link for the New York City Administrative Code.

The "Laws of New York" page also allows word searches of the laws linked. Tip: While a search for "lead paint" came up empty, another search for lead AND paint (without quotations) yielded 20 documents.
