Noticed a slow down in NY?
We have certainly noticed a big change in the turn around time for certified filings! While we used to be able to count on getting approvals back within a few days, our office now has some that have been pending for a couple of weeks and it is unclear just when they might be looked at. I was recently advised that half (2) of the staff that used to review these certified filings have left the Department for promotions in other state agencies! No matter how hard the 2 remaining staff members work, they can't pick up a doubled work load!
While the state's financial situation has an impact, I'm sure, let's hope those administrative positions are filled quickly because their loss is being directly felt in the longer approval times!! With new laws, 2001 CSO filings and major product development efforts keeping us all busy, we need to be able to count on full staffing at the Department to get the industry's new products to market in a timely manner!
