Bill > S03352

This bill amends the insurance law and vehicle and traffic law to allow property/casualty insurance notices and documents to be delivered electronically, expanding existing provisions for electronic communication. Specifically, the bill permits insurance companies to send notices by electronic means to an email address not originally specified in the policy, as long as the electronic delivery meets the requirements outlined in the state technology law. The bill adds a new provision to the vehicle and traffic law that explicitly recognizes electronic notices that comply with the insurance law's requirements as sufficient for legal purposes. This change provides more flexibility for insurance companies in communicating with policyholders, potentially making communications faster and more convenient while still ensuring that important notifications can be effectively transmitted. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt implementation of these expanded electronic delivery options.
