* SPECIAL NOTE.--Notwithstanding that Chapter 585 of the Laws of 1984:

Bill sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9 of such chapter amend provisions of
the former Insurance Law that are not possible to juxtapose at this time
due to the highly technical nature of such changes and will need future
corrective legislation to implement such provisions into the new
Insurance Law as enacted by such Chapter 367 of the Laws of 1984.
