Bill > S08387

This bill amends the Executive Law to (1) limit the duration of a state disaster emergency declaration to 30 days, with the option for the Governor to seek legislative approval for additional 30-day extensions; (2) require the Governor to solicit input from and communicate with parties affected by any suspension of laws during a state disaster emergency; and (3) require the Governor to provide a weekly report to the legislature on all actions and communications related to the state disaster emergency declaration. The bill is intended to provide more legislative oversight and transparency around the Governor's exercise of emergency powers during a state disaster.
