Summary: Assembly Bill A 3817 – Construction Insurance Notification Act (CINA)

Overview

  • Bill Number: A 3817
  • Title: Establishes the Construction Insurance Notification Act (CINA)
  • Status: Referred to the Assembly Insurance Committee
  • Introduced / Date: January 30, 2025
  • Primary Sponsor: David Weprin
  • Related Legislation: A 10563 (prior-session), S 6568 (companion)

What the bill intends to do

  • The bill’s title indicates that it would establish a new statutory framework named the Construction Insurance Notification Act (CINA).
  • Based on the title and standard practice for “notification” requirements in construction and insurance contexts, the act would create a formal mechanism for notifying specified parties about construction-related insurance matters.
  • The exact scope, definitions, triggers, and notice requirements are not provided in the available materials. The legislative record only confirms the establishment of a notification framework as the core purpose.

Key provisions (as described in the record)

  • The current materials do not include the full text or detailed provisions of A 3817.
  • Therefore, specific requirements such as who must be notified, what information must be included in notices, timeframes, methods of delivery, exemptions, penalties, or enforcement mechanisms are not publicly available in the summary provided.

Who would be affected

  • While the precise stakeholders depend on the final text, typical construction insurance notification frameworks affect:
    • Construction project owners and developers
    • General contractors and subcontractors
    • Insurance providers and brokers
    • Lenders and project financiers
    • Surety companies and bonding agents
    • Legal and risk management professionals involved in construction projects

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduction: January 30, 2025
  • Committee Action: Referred to the Assembly Insurance Committee (status indicates assignment to this committee for consideration).
  • Legislative Path: As an Assembly bill with a Senate companion (S 6568), it would typically proceed through the Insurance Committee, potential floor votes in the Assembly and Senate, and reconciliation if passed in both chambers, before any potential signature by the Governor.
  • Current Status Context: The bill’s short record shows only the referral action on January 30, 2025, with no further committee or floor actions listed.

Related/Companion bills

  • A 10563 (prior-session) – Assembly counterpart
  • S 6568 – Senate companion (listed twice in the record)
