N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 9 § 354.3

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 50, December 11, 2024

Section 354.3 - Applicability and rationale

(a) This Part is applicable to all intake services rendered by probation departments in matters of the Family Court, regardless of nomenclature assigned by a probation department to such services.

(b) The rationale for this Part is as follows:

(1) Intake services are rendered in Family Court support proceedings, family offense and marital conciliation matters pursuant to statute. In addition, the Family Court, by court order, has required the rendering of intake services in other matters which are not otherwise statutorily mandated.

(2) Specifying criteria for intake decisionmaking serves to facilitate uniformity in decisionmaking.

(3) Specifying procedures for intake decisionmaking serves to expedite decisions made and, therefore, the processing of cases.
