Bill > A10502

This bill amends the Executive Law to: 1. Limit the duration of a state disaster emergency declaration to 30 days, after which the Governor must seek approval from the Senate and Assembly to extend it for additional 30-day periods. If the legislature is not in session, the Governor can continue the declaration until the legislature can convene. 2. Require the Governor to solicit input from and communicate with parties affected by any suspension of laws during a state disaster emergency. 3. Require the Governor to transmit a weekly report to the legislature on all suspensions of laws, executive actions, decisions, and communications related to the state disaster emergency declaration. The bill aims to increase legislative oversight and transparency in the Governor's management of state disaster emergencies.
