 Introduced by Sen. BAILEY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to penalties imposed on
 subcontractors for failure to adhere to the standards for prompt, fair

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph 1 of subsection (c) of section 3224-a of the

 3 to read as follows:
 4 (1) Except as provided in paragraph two of this subsection, each claim
 5 or bill for health care services processed in violation of this section
 6 shall constitute a separate violation. In addition to the penalties
 7 provided in this chapter, any insurer or organization or corporation
 8 that fails to adhere to the standards contained in this section shall be
 9 obligated to pay to the health care provider or person submitting the
 10 claim, in full settlement of the claim or bill for health care services,
 11 the amount of the claim or health care payment plus interest on the
 12 amount of such claim or health care payment of the greater of the rate
 13 equal to the rate set by the commissioner of taxation and finance for
 14 corporate taxes pursuant to paragraph one of subsection (e) of section
 15 one thousand ninety-six of the tax law or twelve percent per annum, to
 16 be computed from the date the claim or health care payment was required
 17 to be made. The superintendent shall be authorized to impose penalties
 18 on subcontractors of an insurer or organization or corporation in addi-
 19 tion to penalties imposed on the insurer or organization where it can be
 20 reasonably demonstrated that the subcontractor was responsible for a
 21 failure to adhere to the standards contained in this section. Further-
 22 more, the superintendent shall be authorized to double the penalties
 23 authorized under this chapter where it is demonstrated that the insurer

 4 tion or corporation shall not be required to pay interest on such claim.
 5 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 6 have become a law, and apply to all health care claims submitted after
 7 such date. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal
 8 of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act
 9 on its effective date are authorized to be made and completed on or
