 AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to requiring notification
 of governmental agencies and departments when certain construction

 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
 2 "construction insurance notification act (CINA)".
 3 § 2. The insurance law is amended by adding a new section 3428-a to
 4 read as follows:
 5 § 3428-a. Cancellation of construction contracts; notification to
 6 governments that issue building permits. (a) Every insurer issuing
 7 contracts of insurance or policies covering activities within this state
 8 shall make an inquiry of all applicants for insurance contracts or poli-
 9 cies to determine whether the purchase of the contract of insurance or
 10 policy is intended to be submitted to any governmental agency or depart-
 11 ment in order to obtain a New York state or local government permit for
 12 the erection, demolition, repairing, altering, painting, cleaning or
 13 pointing of a building, structure or edifice. If the inquiry is answered
 14 in the affirmative, the applicant shall provide the name, address, and
 15 website of such governmental department or agency. The truth and accura-
 16 cy of information provided in every application for such insurance shall
 17 be sworn to or affirmed by the applicant.
 18 (b) Every insurer that has issued a contract of insurance or policy to
 19 an insured who in accordance with subsection (a) of this section answers
 20 in the affirmative shall notify the governmental agency or department if
 21 the policy or contract of insurance has lapsed or has been canceled
 22 within the policy period. Such notice shall be given within ten days of
 23 the lapse or cancellation. Compliance is satisfied where timely notice
