2006 New York Code - Reimbursement For Expenditures Necessitated By Negligent, Willful Or Reckless Conduct

 
    §  13.30  Reimbursement  for  expenditures  necessitated by negligent,
  willful or reckless conduct.  In addition to any other remedy which  may
  exist,  a person whose negligent, willful or reckless conduct results in
  an expenditure by the office for the purpose of  effectuating  a  rescue
  shall  be  liable for the amount of such expenditure and shall reimburse
  the office therefor. The  attorney  general  may  institute  any  proper
  action,  suit  or proceeding to recover the amount owed to the office as
  provided in this section and any  such  amount  so  recovered  shall  be
  deposited  in  the state treasury to the credit of the general fund. For
  purposes of this section, reckless  conduct  shall  mean  a  failure  to
  exercise  reasonable  care,  reasonable  caution  or  the foresight of a
  reasonably prudent and careful person, with a deliberate  disregard  for
  the consequences of such conduct.
