 Introduced by M. of A. LUNSFORD -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to enact-
 ing the "avoiding vexatious overuse of impleading to delay (AVOID)
 act"

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

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "avoiding
 2 vexatious overuse of impleading to delay (AVOID) act".
 3 § 2. Section 1007 of the civil practice law and rules, as amended by
 4 chapter 216 of the laws of 1992, is amended to read as follows:
 5 § 1007. When third-party practice allowed. (a) After the service of
 6 [his] a defendant's answer, [a] the defendant may proceed against a
 7 person or legal entity not a party who is or may be liable to that
 8 defendant for all or part of the plaintiff's claim against that defend-
 9 ant, by filing pursuant to section three hundred four of this chapter a
 10 third-party summons and complaint with the clerk of the court in the
 11 county in which the main action is pending, for which a separate index
 12 number shall not be issued but a separate index number fee shall be
 13 collected. The third-party summons and complaint and all prior pleadings
 14 served in the action shall be served upon such person or legal entity
 15 within [one hundred] twenty days of the filing. A defendant serving a
 16 third-party complaint shall be styled a third-party plaintiff and the
 17 person or legal entity so served shall be styled a third-party defend-
 18 ant. The defendant shall also serve a copy of such third-party complaint
 19 upon the plaintiff's attorney simultaneously upon issuance for service
 20 of the third-party complaint on the third-party defendant.
