The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 707 of the labor law, as amended 2 by section 5 of part O of chapter 56 of the laws of 2010, is amended to 3 read as follows: 4 4. [ Any person aggrieved by a final order of the board granting or 5 denying in whole or in part the relief sought may obtain a review of 6 such order in the supreme court of the county where the unfair labor 7 practice in question was alleged to have been engaged in or wherein such 8 person resides or transacts business by filing in such court a written 9 petition praying that the order of the board be modified or set aside, 10 or if such court be on vacation or in recess, then to the supreme court 11 of any county adjoining the county wherein the unfair labor practice in 12 question occurred or wherein any such person resides or transacts busi- 13 ness. A copy of such petition shall be forthwith served upon the board, 14 and thereupon the aggrieved party shall file in the court a transcript 15 of the entire record in the proceeding, certified by the board, includ- 16 ing the pleading and testimony and order of the board. Upon such filing, 17 the court shall proceed in the same manner as in the case of an applica- 18 tion by the board under subdivision one of this section, and shall have 19 the same exclusive jurisdiction to grant to the board such temporary 20 relief or restraining order as it deems just and proper, and in like 21 manner to make and enter a decree enforcing, modifying and enforcing as 22 so modified, or setting aside in whole or in part the order of the 23 board; and the findings of the board as to the facts shall in like 24 manner be conclusive. ] (a) Final orders of the board made pursuant to 25 this article shall be conclusive against all parties to its proceedings 26 and persons who have had an opportunity to be parties to its proceedings 27 unless reversed or modified in proceedings for enforcement or judicial 28 review as provided under this subdivision.

1 reviewable under article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and 2 rules upon petition filed by an aggrieved party in the supreme court in 3 Albany county, within thirty days after service by electronic mail, 4 except where a party indicates that certified mail is preferred, of a 5 copy of such order upon such party in unfair labor practice proceedings, 6 and within ten days after service by electronic mail, except where a 7 party indicates that certified mail is preferred, of a copy of such 8 order upon such party in certification proceedings; and (ii) enforceable 9 in a special proceeding, upon petition of such board, to the supreme 10 court in Albany county. 11 (b) If a proceeding by the board for enforcement of its order is 12 instituted prior to the expiration of the period within which a party 13 may seek judicial review of such order, the respondent may raise in such 14 respondent's answer the questions authorized to be raised by section 15 seven thousand eight hundred three of the civil practice law and rules 16 and thereafter the proceedings shall be governed by the provisions of 17 article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules that are not 18 inconsistent with this subdivision, except that if an issue specified in 19 question four of section seven thousand eight hundred three of the civil 20 practice law and rules is raised, the proceeding shall be transferred 21 for disposition to the appellate division of the supreme court.
