NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)




 
BILL NUMBER: A1500
 
SPONSOR: Pheffer Amato

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
 
Amends relevant section of the Civil Practice Law and Rules relating to
the personal property exempt from application to the satisfaction of
money judgements.
 
 
EXISTING LAW:
 
Currently/ a 9/11 victim would have to file for bankruptcy to have
his/her VCF award be exempt as "property that is traceable to an award
under a crime victim's reparation law". There is no protection for a
9/11 victim without filing a bankruptcy.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:

This bill seeks to continue to protect our 9/11 Victims by safeguarding
their crime victim's reparation from being used to satisfy money judge-
ments.
 
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
