No Justice Court Assistance Program funds
						may be disbursed unless the Chief Administrator first approves an application
						therefor as provided hereunder.
(a) Who may apply. Each town and
					 village having a Justice Court may make an individual application for funding,
					 or two or more such towns or villages, or towns and villages, may make a joint
					 application for funding.
(b) When and where to apply. For a town
					 or village to be eligible for a disbursement from funds made available by
					 appropriation to the Unified Court System for any State fiscal year, such town
					 or village must file its application with the Chief Administrator on or before
					 the first day of February in such fiscal year.
(c) Contents of application.
					 Each application filed with the Chief Administrator pursuant to this Part must
					 be signed by at least one justice of the court(s) affected thereby other than
					 an acting justice, and by the supervisor of any town, and the mayor of any
					 village, that is party to the application. Each such application shall be in
					 such form as the Chief Administrator shall prescribe and shall include a
					 certified copy of a resolution of the legislative body of each municipality
					 that is a party to the application evidencing its authorization thereof; the
					 information specified in paragraphs (a) through (c) of section
					 849-i
					 (1) of the Judiciary Law, except to the
					 extent that it already has been made available to the Chief Administrator; and
					 such other information as the Chief Administrator shall require.
The Chief Administrator may, at any time
						following the filing of an application for funding, request that an applicant
						or applicants furnish additional information or documentation to support such
						application.
(d) Special application by a
					 magistrates' association. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section,
					 one or more duly-organized county or multi-county magistrates' associations may
					 make an individual or joint application for funding solely for the purpose of
					 enabling the provision of appropriate training for justices and/or for
					 nonjudicial court staff of the courts represented by such association(s). In
					 such event, the other provisions of this section shall not apply except that:
(1) the magistrates'
					 association applicant(s) shall be subject to the same requirements applicable
					 to town and village applicants pursuant to subdivision (b) of this section;
					 and
(2) the
					 application shall be in such form as the Chief Administrator shall prescribe
					 and shall be signed by a duly-authorized officer of the applicant (or by a
					 duly-authorized officer of each of the applicants if it is a joint
					 application).
