BILL NUMBER: S6352 SPONSOR: KAPLAN TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, the business corporation law, the general associations law, the limited liability company law, the not-for-profit corporation law and the part- nership law, in relation to consent to jurisdiction by foreign business organizations authorized to do business in New York This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of the Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of his Advisory Committee on Civil Practice.
