Full Text of CPLR 8017-a
Plain-English Summary
CPLR 8017-a does not contain independent text. The history notes show it was added in 1963 and, by a 1965 amendment, renumbered as CPLR 8017, effective September 1, 1965. What is now CPLR 8017, the exemption of the state and counties, and their agencies and officers, from clerk fees, is the direct successor of this section.
Because the substance moved to CPLR 8017, the designation 8017-a remains in the statute's history only as a record of that renumbering, not as a source of any current rule.
