BILL NUMBER: S4298 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the penal law, in relation to including the forgery of a certificate of insurance or an insurance identification card within the offense of forgery in the second degree and the forgery of ten or more instruments with the offense of forgery in the first degree PURPOSE : The purpose of this bill is to include an insurance card and certificate of insurance for a motor vehicle, in the list of documents covered under forgery in the second degree, when with intent to defraud, deceive or injure another, the person falsely makes, completes or alters one of these written instruments. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1: Adds penal Law section 170.10 (6) to include an insurance card and certificate of insurance issued by an insurance company within the classification of documents that cannot be forged. While issued by an insurance company instead of a government agency, these documents are still required by law to obtain state issued certificate of registration to register and operate a motor vehicle in New York State. Violation of this section law is a class felony.
