Relates to the filling of vacancies in the office of lieutenant-governor

This bill establishes clear procedures for filling vacancies in the New York State lieutenant-governor position. It requires the governor to nominate a replacement within 60 days of a vacancy, with the legislature confirming or rejecting the nominee within 60 days (or 30 days if the nomination is resubmitted after rejection). If the legislature fails to act within the specified timeframes, the nominee automatically assumes the office. The governor must choose from the governor's succession line if two nominations are rejected, and nominees must resign from other government roles to take office. The bill directly affects governors, the legislature, and individuals appointed to the lieutenant-governor role.
