AN ACT to amend the  workers'  compensation  law,  in  relation  to  the
  requirement  for  policyholders  to provide 30-days notice to withdraw
  from the state insurance fund

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivision  a of section 94 of the workers' compensation
law, as amended by chapter 635 of the laws of 1996, is amended  to  read
as follows:
  a.   Any employer may, upon complying with subdivision two or three of
section  fifty of this chapter, withdraw from the fund by turning in his
insurance contract for cancellation,  [provided  he  has  given  written
notice  to  the  fund  of his intention to withdraw not less than thirty
days before the effective date of such cancellation] ALONG WITH  WRITTEN
NOTICE  OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION.  Upon receipt of such
notice the fund shall, at least ten days prior  to  the  effective  date
file  in  the office of the chairman a notice of such cancellation date;
HOWEVER, IF THE EMPLOYER HAS SECURED INSURANCE  WITH  ANOTHER  INSURANCE
CARRIER  WHICH  BECOMES  EFFECTIVE  PRIOR  TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE TIME
STATED IN SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE, THE CANCELLATION SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS OF
THE DATE OF SUCH OTHER COVERAGE.
  [In no event shall the insurance contract be deemed cancelled until at
least ten days after the date of such filing, any earlier date mentioned
in the notice to the contrary notwithstanding.]
  If an employer withdraws from the fund upon complying with subdivision
two of section fifty of this chapter, the new  insurance  contract  with
the stock corporation, mutual corporation or reciprocal insurer shall be
deemed  not  to  take  effect  until the cancellation of such employer's
contract with the state insurance fund has become effective.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day  after  it  shall
have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
