S 3160: Provides that limited liability for persons held jointly liable shall not apply to parties held liable for failing to provide reasonable security or failing to provide security required by federal, state or local law, rules or regulations.
The bill proposes to amend the Civil Practice Law and Rules in New York. It introduces a new subdivision 15 that clarifies that the limited liability provision does not apply to individuals or entities that own, manage, and control property that is held liable for failing to provide security as required by law, rule, or regulation. This means that individuals or entities that own, manage, and control property that is responsible for failing to meet security requirements are not protected by limited liability. The bill takes effect immediately and applies to causes of action commenced or pending on or after the effective date.
