AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to insurance laws in New York. First, it allows long-term care insurance policyholders who are senior citizens to designate a third party to receive notices of non-payment or cancellation of their policy. Second, it prohibits insurance companies, agents, and brokers from including any other insurance policies, products, or goods/services with the sale of an insurance policy without the informed consent of the policyholder. Finally, it imposes a $1,000 penalty for each violation of this prohibition. The bill aims to provide additional protections for senior citizens with long-term care insurance policies and prevent the bundling of unrelated products with insurance sales without the consumer's knowledge and consent.
