BILL NUMBER:S2443 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general obligations law, in relation to automatic renewal of contracts for electronic and life safety alarm services PURPOSE OF THE BILL: To amend the requirement that persons be given notice by certified mail of the extension of contracts for life safety and electronic alarm services where such person has received notice of renewal and paid an invoice that clearly indicates that such payment is for a contract extension and renewal. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Adds a new section 5-903 to the General Obligations law. JUSTIFICATION: Under current law, notice of the automatic extension or renewal of an electronic and life safety alarm service must be given by certified mail. This is both costly for the alarm company and can be inconvenient for the customer if they are not available to receive the certified mail. It can result in the unintentional cancellation of an alarm monitoring/servicing contract. This bill provides that if the customer makes payment on an invoice for the renewal/extension of the contract that clearly indicates that such payment of for renewal/extension, the notice provisions of Section 5-903 shall have been deemed to be satisfied.
