In order to more thoroughly uncover, investigate and eliminate the myriad financial frauds that may be perpetrated in, and may involve the people of, New York state, the legislature finds that it is appropriate that the responsibilities of the insurance frauds bureau and the criminal investigations bureau that were administered by the department of insurance and the department of banking, respectively, prior to the enactment of this article, be consolidated into a new financial frauds and consumer protection unit under the supervision of the superintendent.
