BILL NUMBER:S6650 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to the notice of intention to arbitrate This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of the Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of her Advisory Committee on Civil Practice. This measure would amend subdivision (c) of CPLR 7503, which presently provides for the service of a demand for arbitration or notice of intention to arbitrate, and the time in which to object to arbitrability. The notice requirement specifies that unless a party served with a demand applies to stay the arbitration within twenty days after service, such party shall thereafter be precluded from challenging the agreement to arbitrate or from asserting in court the bar of the statute of limitations. This measure would extend this twenty-day time period to thirty days. The service of a demand for arbitration may be done in the manner of a summons, but also by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. The requirement under 7503(c) that the application must be made "within twenty days after service" has been interpreted to mean receipt by the respondent in the arbitration. (Knickerbocker
