Enacts the "stop continuing unnecessary orders and mandates at once act"
This bill requires New York's legislature to approve any extension or modification of pandemic-related executive orders issued by the governor. It specifically prohibits governors from extending or modifying certain restrictions that impact businesses, such as mandatory closures, curfews, alcohol service rules requiring food purchases, or capacity limits on venues like restaurants, bars, and gyms. The bill allows continued enforcement of basic public health measures like face coverings and sanitation. It does not affect current health guidelines but mandates legislative review for future pandemic directives.
