In our July 2010 column, concerning proposed amendments to the no-fault law,1 we discussed, inter alia, a then-proposed amendment to Ins. L. §5103(b)(2), to require no-fault insurance coverage for necessary emergency health services and ambulance services, together with related medical screening, in situations where the claimant (“eligible injured person”) was injured due to the operation of a vehicle in an intoxicated condition or under the impairment of the use of a drug.
On July 30, 2010, former Governor David A. Paterson signed into law the revised no-fault intoxication exclusion cut back bill, 57845 (Breslin), passed by the New York State Senate on June 18, 2010 and by the Assembly on July 1, 2010. This new law (Chapter 303 of the Laws of 2010) took effect on Jan. 26, 2011, and it applies to all policies issued, renewed, modified, altered or amended on or after that date.
