Joseph Willis, Legislative Affairs Committee ChairOn November 13, 2013, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law New York Assembly Bill 7828 whose purpose was to tighten perceived loopholes in NY Gen.

The unintended consequences of the law appear to jeopardize the subrogation rights of municipalities and short term disability carriers.
