                       (Executive Budget: pp. 381-383)

The Commission on Judicial Conduct, the Commission on Judicial Nomination, and 
the Governor's Judicial Screening Committees represent the three Judicial 
Commissions for the State of New York.  The Commission on Judicial Conduct
investigates complaints of misconduct against judges and justices.  The 
Commission on Judicial Nomination evaluates candidates and makes recommendations 
to the Governor for appointments to the Court of Appeals.  The Governor's
Judicial Screening Committees review qualifications and make recommendations to 
the Governor to fill judicial vacancies on courts other than the Court of 
Appeals, such as the Court of Claims and the Appellate Divisions of the Supreme 
Court.

These agencies are included in the Public Protection and General Government 
appropriation bill.
