AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation  to  the  life  insurance
  company guaranty corporation of New York

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

  Section 1. Section 7702 of the insurance law, as added by chapter  802
of the laws of 1985, is amended to read as follows:
  S  7702.  Purpose.  The purpose of this article is to provide funds to
protect [resident policyowners] POLICY OWNERS, insureds,  beneficiaries,

insurance policies, annuity contracts, funding  agreements  and  supple-
mental  contracts issued by life insurance companies, subject to certain
limitations, against failure in the  performance  of  contractual  obli-
gations  due to the impairment or insolvency of the insurer issuing such
policies [or], contracts, OR FUNDING AGREEMENTS.  In the judgment of the
legislature, the foregoing objects and purposes  not  being  capable  of
accomplishment by a corporation created under general laws, the creation
of  a  not-for-profit  corporation  of  insurers is provided for by this
article to enable the guarantee of payment of benefits and of  continua-
tion of coverages, and members of the corporation are subject to assess-
ment to carry out the purposes of this article.

ance policies, health insurance  policies,  annuity  contracts,  funding
agreements,  and SUPPLEMENTAL contracts [supplemental to life and health
insurance policies, annuity contracts or funding agreements] issued  [to

health insurance or annuities in this state  at  the  time  the  policy,
contract,  or FUNDING agreement was issued or [at the time it became] ON
THE DATE OF ENTRY OF A COURT ORDER OF LIQUIDATION OR REHABILITATION WITH
RESPECT TO SUCH A COMPANY THAT IS an impaired or insolvent  insurer,  as
the case may be.
