Section 316. Electronic filings

Notwithstanding  subdivision  one  of
  section  three  hundred  five  of  the   state   technology   law,   the
  superintendent may promulgate regulations to require an insurer or other
  person  or  entity making a filing or submission with the superintendent
  pursuant to this chapter to submit  the  filing  or  submission  to  the
  superintendent  by  electronic  means. Should the superintendent require
  that a filing or submission be made by electronic means, an  insurer  or
  other  person  or  entity  affected  thereby may submit a request to the
  superintendent for an exemption from the electronic  filing  requirement
  upon a demonstration of undue hardship, impracticability, or good cause,
  subject to the approval of the superintendent.
