A state commission that investigates and sanctions complaints of misconduct against the state’s judges is asking Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers for a roughly 6 percent increase to their annual budget, citing staffing constraints and a larger workload.

The State Commission on Judicial Conduct said Monday that an increase of $359,000 over its current $5.7 million budget would help the panel tackle a 25 percent increase in its activity over the past decade.
