Section 410.80. Transfer of supervision of probationers

1.  Authority to transfer supervision. Where a probationer at the time
  of sentencing resides in another  jurisdiction  within  the  state,  the
  sentencing court shall transfer supervision to the appropriate probation
  department in such other jurisdiction. Where, after a probation sentence
  is  pronounced,  a probationer desires to reside in another jurisdiction
  within the state that is not served by the sentencing court, such court,
  in its discretion, may approve a change in residency and, upon approval,
  shall transfer  supervision  to  the  appropriate  probation  department
  serving  the  county  of  the  probationer's proposed new residence. Any
  transfer under this subdivision must be in accordance with rules adopted
  by the director of the state  division  of  probation  and  correctional
  alternatives.
    2.  Transfer  of  powers.  Upon  completion  of transfer as authorized
  pursuant to subdivision one, the probation department in  the  receiving
  jurisdiction  shall  assume  all  powers  and  duties  of  the probation
  department in the jurisdiction of the sentencing court. Upon  completion
  of  transfer,  the  appropriate  court  within  the  jurisdiction of the
  receiving probation department shall assume all powers and duties of the
  sentencing court and shall have sole jurisdiction in the case  including
  jurisdiction  over  matters  specified  in  article  twenty-three of the
  correction law. Further, the sentencing court shall immediately  forward
  its entire case record to the receiving court.
    In  transfers  involving  a  defendant  sentenced  to  probation  upon
  conviction of a felony, the court served by the probation department  to
  which  supervision is transferred shall be the superior court within the
  jurisdiction of the  probation  department.  In  transfers  involving  a
  defendant  sentenced  to probation upon conviction of a misdemeanor, the
  receiving court served by the probation department to which  supervision
  is  transferred  shall  be  the  appropriate  criminal  court within the
  jurisdiction  of  the  probation  department.  The   sending   probation
  department   shall  consult  with  the  probation  department  to  which
  supervision will be transferred to determine  the  appropriate  criminal
  court to receive the case.
    3.  Interstate  compact.  Nothing contained in this section affects or
  limits the provisions  of  section  two  hundred  fifty-nine-mm  of  the
  executive law relating to out-of-state probation supervision.
    4.  Federal  transfer  of custody and supervision. Notwithstanding the
  provisions  of  any  other  law,  the  court  served  by  the  probation
  department  may  consent to the transfer of custody and supervision of a
  probationer to the United States Department of Justice pursuant  to  the
  Witness Security Act of nineteen hundred eighty-four.
