The Central Station Alarm Association, in its CSAA Signals e-newsletter today reported that the New York Burglar & Fire Alarm Association informed CSAA that the Senate Judiciary Committee agenda for tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2, 2009 contains the S4507 exculpatory clause bill.
"We hope you have contacted your state senator about this industry changing bill!" wrote CSAA. "Senator Mike Ranzenhofer has stated in a letter that he does NOT support this bill. You should ask your Senator to let you know in writing if they are for or against this bill."
