S 1292 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for procedure in filling vacancies in the offices of comptroller and attorney-general

This bill amends the state constitution to establish a specific process for filling vacancies in the offices of comptroller and attorney-general. It requires the legislature to fill such vacancies until the next general election occurring at least three months after the vacancy, with no separate elections held for these roles - only at governor election time. The provision ensures continuity in these key financial and legal oversight roles until a new official is elected to complete the term. This affects the legislature (which must act) and any appointee filling the vacancy temporarily.
