BILL NUMBER:S7641 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, the environmental conservation law, the public authorities law, the education law, the mental hygiene law, the private housing finance law, the facilities development corporation act, the administrative code of the city of New York, chapter 154 of the laws of 1921 relating to the port authority of New York and New Jersey, and the civil practice law and rules, in relation to establishing a uniform process and requirement for the filing of notices of claim prior to the commencement of a cause of action against any state or municipal entity, public authority or public benefit corporation PURPOSE OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to provide plaintiffs with a uniform, fair and statutorily consistent procedure for serving a notice of claim of intention to commence a proceeding in the courts of this state for damages suffered as an aggrieved party, and similarly provide for a statutorily consistent statute of limitations applicable to such actions. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF BILL:
Section 1 of this legislation provides that this act shall be known as the "Uniform Notice of Claim Act." Section 2 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that all notices of claim served on any entity entitled to such a notice as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action, whether the relevant statute is expressly amended by the bill or not, are subject to the requirements of general municipal law 50-e. This section also provides that the statute of limitations applicable to actions, except wrongful death actions, against such entities shall be longer of one year and ninety days or the time period specified in any other provision of law. Section 3 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that any fee imposed by this act shall be a taxable disbursement. Section 4 amends the general municipal law to allow notices of claim against any public corporation to be served on the Secretary of State at a location designated by the Secretary for that purpose, and requires the Secretary of State to forward a copy to the entity named in the notice of claim. Service of the notice of claim shall be complete when served on the Secretary of State. Section 5 amends the general municipal law to allow an error in naming a public corporation in a notice of claim, if made in good faith, to be the basis for a discretionary extension of the time to serve a correct notice of claim, unless the proper public corporation suffered substantial prejudice. Section 6 amends the general municipal law to require entities entitled to receive a notice of claim to file a certificate with the Secretary of State that identifies the name and address to which the Secretary of State must transmit notices of claims. Failure of an entity to file such a certificate will not invalidate any notice of claim served on the Secretary of State. This section also provides for a $250 filing fee for service of a notice of claim on the Secretary of State, with the half of that fee to be retained by the Secretary of State and the other half provided to the entity or entities named in the notice of claim. Sections 7 through 79 amend the specific statutory provisions governing entities entitled to a notice of claim as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action. These amendments are intended to provide unified procedures for filing a notice of claim, and specifically provide that the time limits contained in general municipal law 50-e are generally applicable, and amend relevant statute of limitations to provide a minimum time limit of one year and ninety days to bring an action against a public corporation. JUSTIFICATION: The current statutes governing the filing of notices of claim and commencing an action or proceeding against a public corporation have become confusing and unfairly difficult for all concerned, including the judiciary and the governmental entities involved. Over the years, this legislature has granted state-created governmental and quasi-governmental bodies the right to require that notification of claims to be made against them were to be made by requiring them to receive a notice of claim or other comparable document as a condition precedent to commencement of an action or proceeding. These various requirements in law have resulted in a multiplicity of sometimes disparate and confusing procedural rules and time limits. Further, the number of entities entitled by law to such notification has grown over the years to a large though uncertain number, and each entity often has its own statutory entitlement to service within a timeframe, at a certain place and in a manner not at all congruent with one another. This existing patchwork of statutes governing claims against government are neither consistent with one another, nor are they all catalogued or contained in the same, similar or readily locatable sections of the chaptered laws. The result is that even the most diligent, conscientious and able potential claimant can be misled in good faith by the lack of a uniform procedure for filing notices of claim and bringing actions against governmental and quasi-governmental entities. In addition, costly, time-consuming and resource-wasting litigation often ensues over arcane issues of notice of claim service and other procedural quirks, unnecessarily burdening the courts as well as the agencies involved, while at the same time undermining public confidence in the reasonableness and rationality of New York's laws. This bill will provide a uniform, fair and easily engaged method of notice of claim service via the secretary of state in addition to those methods of service already existing, and thus provide a degree of uniformity to procedural rules governing actions against governmental and quasi-governmental entities. This bill is not intended to limit, alter, eliminate or otherwise nullify existing provisions of law relating to the service of a notice of claim, but only as a means of providing an alternative method for satisfying the condition precedent to the commencement of an action or proceeding against a public corporation. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is a new bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: It is anticipated that this bill will provide for a net revenue gain to localities and to the State. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect one hundred and eighty days from -the date upon which it shall have become a law and shall apply to all actions and proceedings accruing on and after such date; provided, however, that section 79 of this act shall take effect upon the enactment into law by the state of New Jersey of legislation having an identical effect with section 79 of this act, but if the state of New Jersey shall have enacted such legislation into law prior to the first day of January next succeeding the date upon which this act shall have become a law, section 79 of this act shall take effect one hundred and eighty days from the date upon which it shall have become a law.

Paragraph 12 of subdivision (a) of section 8301 of the civil practice law and rules in renumbered paragraph 13 and a new paragraph 12 is added to read as follows: 12. ANY FEE IMPOSED BY SECTION FIFTY-THREE OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW; AND S 4. Subdivision 3 of section 50-e of the general municipal law is amended by adding a new paragraph (f) to read as follows: (F) SERVICE OF A NOTICE OF CLAIM ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE AS AGENT OF ANY PUBLIC CORPORATION WHATSOEVER CREATED OR EXISTING BY VIRTUE OF THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK UPON WHOM SERVICE OF A NOTICE OF CLAIM IS REQUIRED AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO BEING SUED, MAY BE MADE BY PERSONALLY DELIVERING TO AND LEAVING WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE OR A DEPUTY, OR WITH ANY PERSON AUTHORIZED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO RECEIVE SUCH SERVICE, AT ANY OFFICE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE IN THE CITY OF ALBANY OR AT ONE OF HIS OR HER REGULARLY ESTABLISHED OFFICES, DUPLICATE COPIES OF SUCH NOTICE OF CLAIM TOGETHER WITH THE STATUTORY FEE, WHICH FEE SHALL BE A TAXABLE DISBURSEMENT. SERVICE ON SUCH PUBLIC CORPORATION SHALL BE COMPLETE WHEN THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS SO SERVED.

Upon application, the court, in its discretion, may extend the time to serve a notice of claim specified in paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section, WHETHER SUCH SERVICE WAS MADE UPON A PUBLIC CORPORATION OR THE SECRETARY OF STATE. The extension shall not exceed the time limited for the commencement of an action by the claimant against the public corporation. In determining whether to grant the extension, the court shall consider, in particular, whether the public corporation or its attorney or its insurance carrier acquired actual knowledge of the essential facts constituting the claim within the time specified in subdivision one of this section or within a reasonable time thereafter. The court shall also consider all other relevant facts and circum- stances, including: whether the claimant was an infant, or mentally or physically incapacitated, or died before the time limited for service of the notice of claim; whether the claimant failed to serve a timely notice of claim by reason of his justifiable reliance upon settlement representations made by an authorized representative of the public corporation or its insurance carrier; whether the claimant in serving a notice of claim made an excusable error concerning the identity of the public corporation against which the claim should be asserted, PROVIDED THAT AN ERROR MADE IN GOOD FAITH CONCERNING THE IDENTITY OF THE PUBLIC CORPORATION AGAINST WHOM THE CLAIM SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED MAY BE THE BASIS FOR THE GRANTING OF AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO SERVE A CORRECTED NOTICE OF CLAIM UPON THE PROPER PUBLIC CORPORATION, UNLESS IT CAN BE DEMONSTRATED TO THE COURT THAT THE PROPER PUBLIC CORPORATION SUFFERED S. 7641 3 SUBSTANTIAL PREJUDICE IN THE INVESTIGATION OR DEFENSE OF THE CLAIM DUE TO THE ERROR; if service of the notice of claim is attempted by elec- tronic means pursuant to paragraph (e) of subdivision three of this section, whether the delay in serving the notice of claim was based upon the failure of the computer system of the city or the claimant or the attorney representing the claimant; that such claimant or attorney, as the case may be, submitted evidence or proof as is reasonable showing that (i) the submission of the claim was attempted to be electronically made in a timely manner and would have been completed but for the fail- ure of the computer system utilized by the sender or recipient, and (ii) that upon becoming aware of both the failure of such system and the failure of the city to receive such submission, the claimant or attorney had insufficient time to make such claim within the permitted time peri- od in a manner as otherwise prescribed by law; and whether the delay in serving the notice of claim substantially prejudiced the public corpo- ration in maintaining its defense on the merits. An application for leave to serve a late notice shall not be denied on the ground that it was made after commencement of an action against the public corporation. S 6. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section 53 to read as follows: S 53. ALTERNATIVE SERVICE OF NOTICE OF CLAIM UPON THE SECRETARY OF STATE. 1.

BILL NUMBER:S7641A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, the general municipal law, the environmental conservation law, the public authorities law, the education law, the mental hygiene law, the private housing finance law, the facilities development corporation act, the administrative code of the city of New York, and chapter 154 of the laws of 1921 relating to the port authority of New York and New Jersey, in relation to establishing a uniform process and requirement for the filing of notices of claim prior to the commencement of a cause of action against any state or municipal entity, public authority or public benefit corporation PURPOSE OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to provide plaintiffs with uniform, fair and statutorily consistent procedure for serving a notice of claim of intention to commence a proceeding in the courts of this state for damages suffered as an aggrieved party, and similarly provide for a statutorily consistent statute of limitations
applicable to such actions. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF BILL: Section 1 of this legislation provides that this act shall be known as the "Uniform Notice of Claim Act." Section 2 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that all notices of claim served on any entity entitled to such a notice as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action, whether the relevant statute is expressly amended by the bill or not, are subject to the requirements of general municipal law 50-e. This section also provides that the statute of limitations applicable to actions, except wrongful death actions, against such entities shall be longer of one year and ninety days or the time period specified in any other provision of law. Section 3 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that any fee imposed by this act shall be a taxable disbursement. Section 4 amends the general municipal law to allow notices of claim against any public corporation to be served on the Secretary of State at a location designated by the Secretary for that purpose, and requires the Secretary of State to forward a copy to the entity named in the notice of claim. Service of the notice of claim shall be complete when served on the Secretary of State. Section 5 amends the general municipal law to allow an error in naming a public corporation in a notice of claim, if made in good faith, to be the basis for a discretionary extension of the time to serve a correct notice of claim, unless the proper public corporation suffered substantial prejudice. Section 6 amends the general municipal law to require entities entitled to receive a notice of claim to file a certificate with the Secretary of State that identifies the tame and address to which the Secretary of State must transmit notices of claims. Failure of an entity to file such a certificate will not invalidate any notice of claim served on the Secretary of State. This section also provides for a $250 filing fee for service of a notice of claim on the Secretary of State, with the half of that fee to be retained by the Secretary of State and the other half provided to the entity or entities' named in the notice of claim. Sections 7 through 78 amend the specific statutory provisions governing entities entitled to a notice of claim as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action. These amendments are intended to provide unified procedures for filing a notice of claim, and specifically provide that the time limits contained in general municipal law 50-e are generally applicable, and amend relevant statute of limitations to provide a minimum time limit of one year and ninety clays to bring an action against a public corporation. JUSTIFICATION: The current statutes governing the filing of notices of claim and commencing an action or proceeding against a public corporation have become confusing and unfairly difficult for all concerned, including the judiciary and the governmental entities involved. Over the years, this legislature has granted state-created governmental and quasi-governmental bodies the right to require that notification of claims to be made against them were to be made by requiring them to receive a notice of claim or other comparable document as a condition precedent to commencement of an action or proceeding. These various requirements in law have resulted in a multiplicity of sometimes disparate and confusing procedural rules and time limits. Further, the number of entities entitled by law to such notification has grown over the years to a large though uncertain number, and each entity often has its own statutory entitlement to service within a timeframe, at a certain place and in a manner not at all congruent with one another. This existing patchwork of statutes governing claims against government are neither consistent with one another, nor are they all catalogued or contained in the same, similar or readily locatable sections of the chaptered laws. The result is that even the most diligent, conscientious and able potential claimant can be misled in good faith by the lack of a uniform procedure for filing notices of claim and bringing actions against governmental and quasi-governmental entities. In addition, costly, time-consuming and resource-wasting litigation often ensues over arcane issues of notice of claim service and other procedural quirks, unnecessarily burdening the courts as well as the agencies involved, while at the same time undermining public confidence in the reasonableness and rationality of New York's laws. This bill will provide a uniform, fair and easily engaged method of notice of claim service via the secretary of state in addition to those methods of service already existing, and thus provide a degree of uniformity to procedural rules governing actions against governmental and quasi governmental entities. This bill is not intended to limit, alter, eliminate or otherwise nullify existing provisions of law relating to the service of a notice of claim, but only as a means of providing an alternative method for satisfying the condition precedent to the commencement of an action or proceeding against a public corporation. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill, 2012. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: It is anticipated that this bill will provide for a net revenue gain to localities and to the State. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect one hundred and eighty days from the date upon which it shall have become a law and shall apply to all actions and proceedings accruing on and after such date; provided, however, that section 78 of this act shall take effect upon the enactment into law by the state of New Jersey of legislation having an identical effect with section 78 of this act, but if the state of New Jersey shall have enacted such legislation into law prior to the first day of January next succeeding the date upon which this act shall have become a law, section 78 of this act shall take effect one hundred and eighty days from the date upon which it shall have become a law.

BILL NUMBER:S7641B TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, the general municipal law, the environmental conservation law, the public authorities law, the education law, the mental hygiene law, the private housing finance law, the facilities development corporation act, the administrative code of the city of New York, and chapter 154 of the laws of 1921 relating to the port authority of New York and New Jersey, in relation to establishing a uniform process and requirement for the filing of notices of claim prior to the commencement of a cause of action against any state or municipal entity, public authority or public benefit corporation PURPOSE OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to provide plaintiffs with uniform, fair and statutorily consistent procedure for serving a notice of claim of intention to commence a proceeding in the courts of this state for damages suffered as an aggrieved party, and similarly provide for a statutorily consistent statute of limitations applicable to such actions. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF BILL: Section 1 of this legislation provides that this act shall be known as the "Uniform Notice of Claim Act."
Section 2 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that all notices of claim served on any entity entitled to such a notice as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action, whether the relevant statute is expressly amended by the bill or not, are subject to the requirements of general municipal law 50-e. This section also provides that the statute of limitations applicable to actions, except wrongful death actions, against such entities shall be longer of one year and ninety days or the time period specified in any other provision of law. Section 3 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that any fee imposed by this act shall be a taxable disbursement. Section 4 amends the general municipal law to allow notices of claim against any public corporation to be served on the Secretary of State at a location designated by the Secretary for that purpose, and requires the Secretary of State to forward a copy to the entity named in the notice of claim, Service of the notice of claim shall be complete when served on the Secretary of State. Section 5 amends the general municipal law to allow court discretion for service upon either a public corporation or the secretary of state. Section 6 amends the general municipal law to require entities entitled to receive a notice of claim to file a certificate with the Secretary of State that identifies the tame and address to which the Secretary of State must transmit notices of claims. Failure of an entity to file such a certificate will not invalidate any notice of claim served on the Secretary of State. This section also provides for a $250 filing fee for service of a notice of claim on the Secretary of State, with the half of that fee to be retained by the Secretary of State and the other half provided to the entity or entities named in the notice of claim. Sections 7 through 78 amend the specific statutory provisions governing entities entitled to a notice of claim as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action. These amendments are intended to provide unified procedures for filing a notice of claim, and specifically provide that the time limits contained in general municipal law 50-e are generally applicable, and amend relevant statute of limitations to provide a minimum time limit of one year and ninety clays to bring an action against a public corporation. JUSTIFICATION: The current statutes governing the filing of notices of claim and commencing an action or proceeding against a public corporation have become confusing and unfairly difficult for all concerned, including the judiciary and the governmental entities involved. Over the years, this legislature has granted state-created governmental and quasi-governmental bodies the right to require that notification of claims to be made against them were to be made by requiring them to receive a notice of claim or other comparable document as a condition precedent to commencement of an action or proceeding. These various requirements in law have resulted in a multiplicity of sometimes disparate and confusing procedural rules and time limits. Further, the number of entities entitled by law to such notification has grown over the years to a large though uncertain number, and each entity often has its own statutory entitlement to service within a timeframe, at a certain place and in a manner not at all congruent with one another. This existing patchwork of statutes governing claims against government are neither consistent with one another, nor are they all catalogued or contained in the same, similar or readily locatable sections of the chaptered laws. The result is that even the most diligent, conscientious and able potential claimant can be misled in good faith by the lack of a uniform procedure for filing notices of claim and bringing actions against governmental and quasi- governmental entities. In addition, costly, time-consuming and resource-wasting litigation often ensues over arcane issues of notice of claim service and other procedural quirks, unnecessarily burdening the courts as well as the agencies involved, while at the same time undermining public confidence in the reasonableness and rationality of New York's laws. This bill will provide a uniform, fair and easily engaged method of notice of claim service via the secretary of state in addition to those methods of service already existing, and thus provide a degree of uniformity to procedural rules governing actions against governmental and quasi- governmental entities. This bill is not intended to limit, alter, eliminate or otherwise nullify existing provisions of law relating to the service of a notice of claim, but only as a means of providing an alternative method for satisfying the condition precedent to the commencement of an action or proceeding against a public corporation. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is a new bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: It is anticipated that this bill will provide for a net revenue gain to localities and to the State. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect one hundred and eighty days from the date upon which it shall have become a law and shall apply to all actions and proceedings accruing on and after such date; provided, however, that section 78 of this act shall take effect upon the enactment into law by the state of New Jersey of legislation having an identical effect with section 78 of this act, but if the state of New Jersey shall have enacted such legislation into law prior to the first day of January next succeeding the date upon which this act shall have become a law, section 78 of this act shall take effect one hundred and eighty days from the date upon which it shall have become a law.

In determining whether to grant the extension, the court shall consider, in particular, whether the public corporation or its attorney or its insurance carrier acquired actual knowledge of the essential facts constituting the claim within the time specified in subdivision one of this section or within a reasonable time thereafter. The court shall also consider all other relevant facts and circum- stances, including: whether the claimant was an infant, or mentally or physically incapacitated, or died before the time limited for service of the notice of claim; whether the claimant failed to serve a timely notice of claim by reason of his justifiable reliance upon settlement representations made by an authorized representative of the public corporation or its insurance carrier; whether the claimant in serving a notice of claim made an excusable error concerning the identity of the public corporation against which the claim should be asserted; if service of the notice of claim is attempted by electronic means pursuant to paragraph (e) of subdivision three of this section, whether the delay in serving the notice of claim was based upon the failure of the comput- S. 7641--B 3 er system of the city or the claimant or the attorney representing the claimant; that such claimant or attorney, as the case may be, submitted evidence or proof as is reasonable showing that (i) the submission of the claim was attempted to be electronically made in a timely manner and would have been completed but for the failure of the computer system utilized by the sender or recipient, and (ii) that upon becoming aware of both the failure of such system and the failure of the city to receive such submission, the claimant or attorney had insufficient time to make such claim within the permitted time period in a manner as otherwise prescribed by law; and whether the delay in serving the notice of claim substantially prejudiced the public corporation in maintaining its defense on the merits. An application for leave to serve a late notice shall not be denied on the ground that it was made after commencement of an action against the public corporation. S 6.
