Bill > A01616

This bill amends the Civil Practice Law and Rules to change the timing of proceedings against a government body or officer. Specifically, it requires the government's determination to be served on the petitioner, either in person or by first-class mail, in order to start the four-month statute of limitations. If the determination is mailed, the statute of limitations begins five days after the determination was placed in the mail. The bill also clarifies that the statute of limitations applies to the government's "actual or constructive" refusal to perform its duty. The bill aims to provide more clarity around the timing of these types of proceedings against the government.
