We note for the record that the proposed constitutional amendment referred to in that opinion (59 AD2d 99, 103-104), having been agreed to by a second Legislature, was approved and ratified, effective as of April 1, 1978, by a majority of the State’s electors at a general election and has been in force since then (NY Const, art VI, §§ 22, 36-a; see, also, Judiciary Law, art 2-A).
Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler and Fuchsberg concur.
