 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. SEPULVEDA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the court of claims act, in relation to permitting
 amendment of a claim or notice of intention to file a claim to correct
 jurisdictional pleading defects and to provide for a procedure for the
 dismissal of a claim based upon claimant's failure to comply with
 jurisdictional pleading requirements

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision b of section 11 of the court of claims act, as
 2 amended by chapter 606 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 b. (i) The claim shall state the time when and place where such claim
 5 arose, the nature of same, the items of damage or injuries claimed to
 6 have been sustained and, except in an action to recover damages for
 7 personal injury, medical, dental or podiatric malpractice or wrongful
 8 death, the total sum claimed. A claim for the appropriation by the state
 9 of lands, or any right, title or interest in or to lands shall include
 10 an inventory or itemized statement of fixtures, if any, for which
 11 compensation is claimed. The notice of intention to file a claim shall
 12 set forth the same matters except that the items of damage or injuries
 13 and the sum claimed need not be stated. The claim and notice of inten-
 14 tion to file a claim shall be verified in the same manner as a complaint
 15 in an action in the supreme court.
 16 (ii) Notwithstanding the failure of a claim to comply with the plead-
 17 ing requirements of paragraph (i) of this subdivision, a claimant who
 18 has filed a claim on or after the effective date of this paragraph shall
 19 be permitted to:
 20 (A) amend the claim to correct any such failure without leave of court
 21 within twenty days after its service, or at any time before the period
 22 for responding to it expires, or within twenty days after service of a
 23 responsive pleading or motion to dismiss the claim made before service
 24 of the responsive pleading that contains an objection or defense based
 25 upon the failure to comply with the pleading requirements set forth in
