 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 9319

 IN SENATE

 February 27, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. ADDABBO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities
 and Commissions

 AN ACT to amend the business corporation law, the limited liability
 company law, the partnership law and the transportation law, in
 relation to the use of assumed and corporate names pertaining to
 household goods moving

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (a) of section 301 of the business corporation
 2 law is amended by adding a new subparagraph 12 to read as follows:
 3 (12) Shall not, unless the applicant is subject to the approval of the
 4 commissioner of transportation and attaches such approval to the certif-
 5 icate of incorporation, or application for authority or amendment there-
 6 of, contain the words "mover," "moving," or "relocation service" or any
 7 abbreviation or derivative thereof. Such consent shall not be granted by
 8 the commissioner of transportation if, in such commissioner's opinion,
 9 the use of the terms in the corporate name is likely to mislead or
 10 confuse the public into believing that the corporation holds a certif-
 11 icate issued pursuant to section one hundred seventy-two or one hundred
 12 ninety-one of the transportation law.
 13 § 2. Subdivisions (g), (h) and (i) of section 204 of the limited
 14 liability company law, subdivision (i) as added by chapter 316 of the
 15 laws of 2005, are amended and a new subdivision (j) is added to read as
 16 follows:
 17 (g) shall not, unless the approval of the state department of social
 18 services is attached to the articles of organization or application for
 19 authority, contain the word "blind" or "handicapped." Such approval
 20 shall be granted by the state department of social services if in its
 21 opinion the word "blind" or "handicapped" as used in the limited liabil-
 22 ity company's proposed name will not tend to mislead or confuse the
 23 public into believing that the limited liability company is organized
 24 for charitable or nonprofit purposes related to the blind or the hand-
 25 icapped; [and]

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 (h) shall not, unless the approval of the attorney general is attached
 2 to the articles of organization or application for authority, contain

 4 approval shall not be granted by the attorney general if in [his or her]
 5 the attorney general's opinion the use of the word "exchange" in
