A 9269 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Grants the governor power to effectuate emergency disconnections of utilities

Bill A 9269 grants New York's governor emergency authority to order immediate disconnections of gas, electric, or water utility service to specific buildings or units without prior notice. This applies only when occupants violate certain environmental, labor, fire, or building codes (e.g., safety or health regulations) that create an imminent threat to health or safety, and the governor determines disconnection resolves the emergency. The governor must submit a public report within 72 hours detailing the violation, emergency nature, and justification, plus an annual report to the legislature by January 31. This directly affects utility providers (who must comply with the order) and building occupants who violate the specified laws.
