ALBANY - Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed a bill that sponsors say will replace with standardized procedures the current patchwork of statutes for the filing of notices of claims against governmental entitites. The measure, A10657/S7641, had been pushed by the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. Most provisions of the bill will go into effect in 180 days.
In a notice sent to NYSTLA members yesterday, president Michael Jaffe said the legislation will “eliminate expensive and time-consuming litigation over unnecessarily complex issues of procedure, that unnecessarily burden the courts as well as the governmental and quasi-governmental entities involved.”
