BILL NUMBER:S7641BTITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, the general municipal law, the environmental conservation law, the public authorities law, the education law, the mental hygiene law, the private housing finance law, the facilities development corporation act, the administrative code of the city of New York, and chapter 154 of the laws of 1921 relating to the port authority of New York and New Jersey, in relation to establishing a uniform process and requirement for the filing of notices of claim prior to the commencement of a cause of action against any state or municipal entity, public authority or public benefit corporationPURPOSE OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to provide plaintiffs with uniform, fair and statutorily consistent procedure for serving a notice of claim of intention to commence a proceeding in the courts of this state for damages suffered as an aggrieved party, and similarly provide for a statutorily consistent statute of limitations applicable to such actions.SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF BILL: Section 1 of this legislation provides that this act shall be known as the "Uniform Notice of Claim Act."Section 2 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that all notices of claim served on any entity entitled to such a notice as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action, whether the relevant statute is expressly amended by the bill or not, are subject to the requirements of general municipal law 50-e. This section also provides that the statute of limitations applicable to actions, except wrongful death actions, against such entities shall be longer of one year and ninety days or the time period specified in any other provision of law.Section 3 amends the civil practice law and rules to state that any fee imposed by this act shall be a taxable disbursement.Section 4 amends the general municipal law to allow notices of claim against any public corporation to be served on the Secretary of State at a location designated by the Secretary for that purpose, and requires the Secretary of State to forward a copy to the entity named in the notice of claim, Service of the notice of claim shall be complete when served on the Secretary of State.Section 5 amends the general municipal law to allow court discretion for service upon either a public corporation or the secretary of state.Section 6 amends the general municipal law to require entities entitled to receive a notice of claim to file a certificate with the Secretary of State that identifies the tame and address to which the Secretary of State must transmit notices of claims. Failure of an entity to file such a certificate will not invalidate any notice of claim served on the Secretary of State. This section also provides for a $250 filing fee for service of a notice of claim on the Secretary of State, with the half of that fee to be retained by the Secretary of State and the other half provided to the entity or entities named in the notice of claim.Sections 7 through 78 amend the specific statutory provisions governing entities entitled to a notice of claim as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action. These amendments are intended to provide unified procedures for filing a notice of cla
