A03214 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A3214A               REVISED MEMO 04/25/2019
 
SPONSOR: Cook
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the financial services law, in relation to immunity from civil liability for certain information relat- ing to insurance or banking violations   PURPOSE: This bill grants immunity for reports of suspected fraud made by or to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a nonprofit dedicated to the inves- tigation and prosecution of insurance fraud.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 adds (d) to section 405 of the Financial Services Law Section 2 is the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Information sharing is the most important tool in fighting insurance fraud. Providing adequate protections to organizations that compile data on the state and national level from insurance companies and federal, state and local law enforcement will allow for greater exchange of information in New York. This statutory immunity already exists in a majority of states including California, Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas. Increasing the exchange of information is significantly aiding federal, state and local law enforcement fraud and vehicle theft inves- tigations. Broadening the exchange of information among those fighting fraud will have a positive impact on the New York anti-fraud environment and provide an immediate boost to information sharing for our state.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A.8281- 2017/18; S.696 - 2018 Passed the Senate   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
