New York Authentication Protection Bill Passes Senate Committee

The New York Senate Standing Committee on Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and Recreation has unanimously endorsed Senate Bill No. S06794.  The Committee was no doubt moved by yesterday’s sought-after Art Law Report endorsement. . . .

In all seriousness, this moves the bill forward for consideration by the full Senate, in an effort to enact significant legal protections for authenticators and art historians rendering opinions about authenticity.
