S 2079 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to insurance in certain public construction contracts

This bill (S 2079) exempts the City of New York from specific insurance requirements when entering public construction contracts for certain infrastructure projects. It directly affects NYC by removing insurance mandates for projects like electrical facilities, light/heavy rail transit, bridges, tunnels, and tolling facilities defined under existing transportation laws. The key mechanism amends the Insurance Law to explicitly list these exempt project types, referencing definitions from Public Authorities Law. The change applies immediately upon enactment and does not alter insurance standards for other entities or projects.
