DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
The Public Defender’s Office, Alternate Public Defender’s Office and Assigned Counsel Plan request authorization for a one-year, no cost extension to the Distribution #11 grant contract with the New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services. Since there were periods of vacancies in the Assistant Public Defender positions funded by the grant, the extension is needed to fully utilize the funds provided by the grant.
