A08519Requires that in civil claims under the child victims act, adult survivors act, or a civil sex trafficking claim any insurer who may provide liability coverage for a claim shall, upon request from the claimant or claimant's attorney, provide information regarding each known policy of insurance; provides that a person bringing a civil claim in a sex trafficking case need not disclose their immigration status.
Prohibits compelling victims of sex trafficking to disclose their immigration status in related civil claims, so less immigration enforcement against such victims.
In all civil claims or causes of action brought by an individual who is a victim of the conduct prohibited by section 230.33, 230.34, 230.34-a, 135.35 or 135.37 of the penal law, including any action or claim brought under subdivision (c) of section four hundred eighty-three-bb of this article or subdivision (b) of section two hundred fourteen-g of the civil practice law and rules, no party shall be compelled to provide sworn testimony as to the legality of their immigration status in the United States at any time during the action or proceeding.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill has two main provisions: (1) an insurance disclosure mandate for certain civil claims (including sex trafficking), which is procedural and does not change access to abortion or any other tracked topic; (2) a prohibition on compelling disclosure of immigration status by sex trafficking victims in civil actions, which limits state/local use of such proceedings to enforce immigration law against victims and thus restricts immigration enforcement via a sanctuary-like protection. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or other immigration-enforcement subtopics.
