BILL NUMBER: S7476 SPONSOR: GIANARIS TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, the business corpo- ration law, the general associations law, the limited liability company law, the not-for-profit corporation law and the partnership 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 Acting Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of her Advisory Committee on Civil Practice. This measure would amend § 1301 of the Business Corporation Law (BCL) to reinforce the continuing viability of consent as a basis for general (all-purpose) personal jurisdiction over foreign corporations authorized to do business in New York. In so doing, the measure serves a substan- tial public interest. Being able to sue New York-licensed corporations in New York on claims that arose elsewhere will save New York residents and others the expense and inconvenience of traveling to distant forums to seek the enforcement of corporate obligations. The measure likewise amends the General Associations Law, the Limited Liability Company Law,
