Relates to the line of succession for the office of governor; repealer
This bill establishes a clear line of succession for New York's governor if the governor is impeached, unable to serve, and the lieutenant governor, senate president, and assembly speaker are also unavailable. It specifies that officials like the attorney general, comptroller, and department commissioners (in order of rank) would temporarily serve as governor until a new governor is elected or the original governor recovers. The bill requires acting governors to step down from their current roles immediately, except during a 60-day transition period if the governor is under impeachment. It also repeals an outdated 1951 emergency act and ties its effective date to a constitutional amendment resolution.
