Summary
This bill allows electronic delivery of notices and documents in property/casualty insurance transactions and workers' compensation claims in New York. Electronic notice can be used instead of mailed or hand-delivered notice, provided it meets the requirements of the state technology law. Even when an insurance policy requires notice to be mailed or delivered to an address shown in the policy, electronic notice can be sent to an electronic address not specified in the policy. Electronic notice that complies with the insurance law provisions is deemed sufficient for workers' compensation purposes. The act takes effect immediately.
