N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 22 § 49.1 - Superior Court adolescent diversion parts
(a) The purpose of this rule is to
promote the administration of justice for 16- and 17-year-old defendants in
criminal cases by providing a criminal justice response that includes
age-appropriate services, interventions, and penalties.

the Courts, following consultation with and agreement of the Presiding Justice
of the appropriate Appellate Division, may establish adolescent diversion parts
in Supreme Court or County Court in the Counties of Bronx, Kings, New York,
Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Westchester, Onondaga, and Erie. Adolescent diversion
parts shall be devoted to the hearing and determination of actions and
proceedings pending in criminal courts in the county where the defendant was 16
or 17 years of age at the time of the alleged commission of an offense being
prosecuted, and where the action or proceeding is appropriate for disposition
in such parts.
(c)
The Chief Administrator, upon consultation with the Administrative Board of the
Courts, shall promulgate rules to regulate operation of adolescent diversion
parts and to authorize transfer to the parts, for disposition, of any eligible
actions or proceedings pending in another court in the same county.
