2006 New York Code - Restrictions Upon Power To Remit.

 
    §  799.  Restrictions  upon  power to remit. Section seven hundred and
  ninety-eight does not authorize a county court to remit any  part  of  a
  fine  exceeding  two  hundred  and  fifty dollars imposed by the supreme
  court upon conviction for a criminal offense; or a fine  to  any  amount
  imposed  by  a  court  upon  an  officer  or other person, for an actual
  contempt of court, or for disobedience to its process, or other mandate;
  or to remit or discharge a recognizance taken  in  its  county  for  the
  appearance  of a person in another county. In the latter case, the power
  of remitting or discharging the recognizance is  vested  in  the  county
  court of the county, in which the person is bound to appear.
