GENERAL REFERENCES
Traffic Violations Bureau — See Ch. 78.
The Board of Trustees hereby finds and determines that the best interests
of the Village of North Hills would be served by the creation of a Village
Justice Court pursuant to Village Law § 3-301, having the powers
and duties prescribed in the Uniform Justice Court Act, and that such interests
would be furthered by the transfer to such Village Justice Court of all proceedings
within its jurisdiction presently pending in the Nassau County District Court.
There is hereby established in the Village of North Hills the offices
of Village Justice and Acting Village Justice. The Village Justice and Acting
Village Justice shall receive such compensation as may be established from
time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
The Village Justice Court of the Village of North Hills shall have such
jurisdiction as is permitted by the Uniform Justice Court Act of the State
of New York.
No action or proceeding pending at the effective date of this chapter
shall abate by virtue of this chapter, but such actions shall instead continue
in the court in which they are then pending unless transferred to the Village
Justice Court as provided by law.
