S 6975 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to prohibiting a court from denying class certification solely because the action involves governmental operations

Bill S 6975 amends the rules governing class action lawsuits. It specifies that a court cannot deny class certification solely because the lawsuit involves governmental operations. This means that if other requirements for a class action are met, a court cannot use the fact that the action targets government operations as the only reason to prevent it from proceeding as a class. This change impacts individuals and groups seeking to bring class action lawsuits against governmental entities.
