 AN  ACT  to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to arbi-

   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:
   § 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-
 MENT  DISPUTE  BETWEEN  AN  EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE, AS DEFINED IN SECTION
 THREE OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938 (29 U.S.C. §  203),  WHERE
 ARBITRATION  WAS  HELD PURSUANT TO A CONTRACT, THE AWARD SHALL STATE THE
 ISSUES IN DISPUTE AND SHALL CONTAIN THE ARBITRATOR'S  FINDINGS  OF  FACT
 AND  CONCLUSIONS  OF  LAW.  SUCH  AWARD  SHALL CONTAIN A DECISION ON ALL

 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,

   § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 it shall have become a law.
