S 2731 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to electronic delivery of insurance notices

This bill allows property and casualty insurance companies to send certain notices and documents to policyholders electronically instead of by mail. It applies to notices related to vehicle and traffic laws and requires that these electronic communications follow the state's existing technology standards. The law also permits insurers to use an electronic address even if the insurance policy does not currently list one, provided the electronic notice meets legal requirements. This change modernizes how insurance coverage information is shared between insurers and consumers while maintaining established rules for valid delivery.
