S 7471 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to expanding service of process to the department of state in the city of New York

Bill S 7471 expands the locations where legal documents, known as "service of process," can be delivered to the New York Department of State. Currently, many legal entities, such as corporations, associations, and charities, typically have these documents served at the Department's office in Albany. This bill adds the option for personal delivery of these documents to the Department of State's office in New York City. It also clarifies that electronic submission remains an option for some entities, providing more flexibility for individuals and organizations needing to serve legal papers.
