2006 New York Code - Expedited Calendaring Of Adoption Proceedings.

 
    §  112-a.  Expedited  calendaring  of  adoption  proceedings.  1.  The
  adoption proceeding shall be deemed filed upon receipt by the  clerk  of
  the  court  of  all  the  documents required in subdivisions two, two-a,
  three, five and seven of section one hundred twelve of this  title,  and
  by  rules of the court, together with an affidavit of readiness from the
  petitioner's attorney. The affidavit of readiness shall attest that  the
  petitioner has prepared a petition for the adoption of the child and has
  collected  documentation as required by such rules and subdivisions two,
  two-a, three and five of section one hundred twelve of this title.
    2. Upon the filing of the documents required  by  subdivision  one  of
  this  section,  the  court,  pursuant  to rules promulgated by the chief
  administrator of the court, shall schedule the proceeding for a  review,
  to take place within time frames established by such rules, to determine
  if there is adequate basis for approving the adoption.
    (a) If such basis is found, the appearance of the adoptive parents and
  child  before the court for approval of the adoption shall be calendared
  pursuant to such rules.
    (b) If, upon the court's review, the court finds that there is not  an
  adequate basis for approval of the adoption, the court shall direct such
  further hearings, submissions or appearances as may be required, and the
  proceedings shall be adjourned as required for such purposes.
    3.  The  chief administrator of the court shall establish by rule time
  frames for the calendaring and disposition of adoption  proceedings  and
  shall  report  by  the  thirty-first day of December of each year to the
  governor and the temporary president  of  the  senate,  speaker  of  the
  assembly,  and  chairpersons  of the judiciary and children and families
  committees on the implementation of such rules  and  their  impact  upon
  adoptions from authorized agencies.
