 3 § 405-a. Compensation for report of insurance fraud to law enforce-
 4 ment authorities. (a) Any person, other than persons described in
 5 subsection (a) of section four hundred five of this article, who has
 6 reason to believe that a fraudulent insurance act prohibited pursuant to
 7 article one hundred seventy-six of the penal law has been committed or
 8 that an insurance transaction may be fraudulent, or has knowledge that a
 9 fraudulent insurance transaction is about to take place, or has taken
 10 place may report such act or transaction and any additional information
 11 relative to the factual circumstances of the transaction and the parties
 12 involved to the attorney general, district attorney or insurance frauds
 13 bureau.
 14 (b) If the insurance frauds bureau recommends to the attorney general

 18 shall be entitled to receive an award of forty percent of the proceeds
 19 of the action. The attorney general or district attorney shall recom-
 20 mend to the court when a settlement is entered the amount of such award.

 24 reports of fraudulent insurance transactions made on and after such
 25 effective date.
