AI Summary
This bill seeks to restore legislative checks and balances on the governor's emergency powers during a state disaster declaration that exceeds 45 days. It repeals a previous law that granted the governor broad authority to suspend laws during such emergencies. The bill amends the Executive Law to limit the governor's suspension powers, requiring the governor to specify which counties are affected and provide justification for each suspension. It also allows county and city leaders to request termination of a state disaster declaration, with the governor required to justify its continuation. Additionally, the bill mandates due process rights, including judicial review, for any executive order that impairs constitutional rights.
