Purpose and Intent

  • The bill’s stated purpose is not detailed in the provided information. The title, “Relates to certain civil actions,” suggests it would address, govern, or reform a subset of civil actions within the jurisdiction of the state, likely tied to insurance law given the committee referral to Insurance. The exact scope, definitions, and policy objectives would come from the bill text.

Key Provisions (Unavailable in Provided Material)

  • No specific substantive provisions are included in the materials you provided. The actual changes (e.g., definitions, standards of proof, filing procedures, limitations periods, damages, preemption, or remedies) would be described in the enacted text of A 8519. A complete understanding requires reading the bill’s sections.

Affected Parties and Impacts (Preliminary)

  • Given the referral to the Insurance Committee, the bill is likely to affect parties involved in insurance-related civil actions, such as:
    • Policyholders/insureds
    • Insurance carriers and third-party administrators
    • Healthcare providers or claimants pursuing third-party actions related to insurance benefits
    • Attorneys representing insureds or insurers
  • Without the text, the exact impact cannot be determined (e.g., changes to filing timelines, standards for liability, access to remedies, or procedural rules).

Procedural and Timeline Notes

  • Introduced: May 20, 2025
  • Committee referral: Both the Assembly date and the legislative action indicate a referral to the Insurance Committee on May 20, 2025.
  • Legislative actions: The record shows two identical entries for “REFERRED TO INSURANCE” on the same date, which may reflect a clerical duplicate or two related committee referrals; the official bill text will clarify.
  • Next steps: To evaluate provisions and impact, review the full bill text, any fiscal notes, sponsor statements, and amendments once published. Also consider checking the Senate companion (S 7789) for parallel language and impact.

Related Measures

  • Companion: Senate Bill S 7789 (listed as companion in the materials; two entries note the companion as related)
