Maddy summaryS 4265 requires sellers of residential properties built before 1978 to provide lead-based paint inspection reports before closing sales. This directly affects home sellers and buyers in New York State, ensuring buyers know if lead paint hazards exist in properties they're purchasing. The bill mandates a one-time lead paint inspection prior to sale (not ongoing inspections) and requires the report to be included in the state's lead inspection registry. It complements existing laws by closing a gap where federal rules only required disclosure of known hazards, not mandatory testing.
Maddy summaryThis bill extends an exemption from certain insurance filing requirements for specific insurers until June 30, 2025. It applies to domestic property/casualty insurers with strong financial reserves (at least double the minimum surplus) or reciprocal insurers meeting minimum surplus requirements. To qualify, insurers must write at least 90% of their direct premiums as medical malpractice insurance, assume less than 5% of reinsurance premiums, and write 90% of premiums within the state. The change simplifies reporting for these insurers but does not alter insurance coverage or consumer protections.
