MODERATE

This bill amends New York's insurance and public health laws to clarify how life registration forms should be included on health insurance enrollment and renewal documents. The changes ensure that Donate Life Registry registration options are clearly presented to all policyholders and subscribers, with specific formatting requirements for the forms.

Scope change

The bill expands applicability by clarifying that policies 'delivered or issued for delivery' in New York are covered, rather than just those 'issued or delivered' in the state. It also adds a reference to chapter 159 of the laws of 2024 for the effective date.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the language from 'issued or delivered' to 'delivered or issued for delivery' in multiple sections to clarify which insurance policies must include the Donate Life Registry registration option on their forms.

TIMELINE

Updated the effective date provision to reference chapter 159 of the laws of 2024 in addition to chapter 758 of the laws of 2022.

TECHNICAL

Added 'Cal. No. 927' as a California reference number and changed the bill status from 'read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Insurance' to include committee reporting status.

Corrected formatting of section references, changing 'four thousand three hundred ten' to 'forty-three hundred ten' for consistency with legal writing standards.
