This Part implements, interprets, and clarifies chapter 614 of the Laws of 1997, which amended several sections of the Insurance Law and added a new article 79 to the Insurance Law entitled "service contracts". New article 79 exempts the business of service contracts from all other provisions of the Insurance Law and establishes a framework by which service contract providers must be registered with, and subject to the jurisdiction of, the superintendent. Chapter 614 also establishes a new kind of insurance, entitled "service contract reimbursement insurance," which may be used by the service contract provider to demonstrate financial responsibility.
