The Board of Trustees of the Village of Hewlett Bay Park hereby
finds and determines that the best interests of the village would
be served by the establishment 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 and pending in the District Court of Nassau
County on the effective date of this chapter, to the extent permitted
by law.
The Village Justice Court of the Village of Hewlett Bay Park
shall have such jurisdiction as is permitted by the Uniform Justice
Court Act of the State of New York and other laws of the State of
New York and of the County of Nassau.
No action pending at the effective date of this chapter shall
abate by virtue of the adoption of this chapter. All such actions
shall instead continue in the court in which they are then pending,
unless transferred to the Village Justice Court as may be provided
by law.
