  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Section  7507  of  the  civil  practice law and rules, as
amended by chapter 952 of the laws  of  1981,  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  S 7507. Award; form; time; delivery. (A) Except as provided in section
7508, the award shall be in writing, signed and affirmed by the arbitra-
tor making it within the time fixed by the agreement, or, if the time is
not fixed, within such time as the court orders.
  (B)  IN  A  MATTER  INVOLVING  A CONSUMER DISPUTE, PURSUANT TO SECTION
THREE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE-C OF THE GENERAL BUSINESS LAW, OR  AN  EMPLOY-

  (C)  The parties may in writing extend the time either before or after

writing of his OR HER objection prior to the delivery of  the  award  to
him OR HER.
  (D)  The arbitrator shall deliver a copy of the award to each party in
the manner provided in the agreement, or, if no provision  is  so  made,

it shall have become a law.
