S 6890 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the execution of certificates by persons conducting business under assumed names or as partners

This bill (S 6890) simplifies a filing requirement for small businesses operating under assumed names or as partnerships. It removes the need for business owners to have their certificate filings "duly acknowledged" (a notarization or official verification step) when submitting to county clerks. The change directly affects sole proprietors and partnerships that must file certificates listing their business name, address, and owner details in each county where they operate. The law modifies existing filing rules to reduce administrative steps, while keeping all other required information (like owner names and addresses) unchanged. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
