Restores legislative checks and balances for emergency declarations over forty-five days; limits governor's power to suspend laws during state.

This bill amends the executive law to restore legislative checks and balances for emergency declarations exceeding forty-five days. It limits the governor's authority to suspend laws during state disasters, ensuring judicial due process for actions impairing fundamental constitutional rights. The bill mandates that any suspension of laws must specify affected municipalities and provide a detailed rationale. It also allows county executives or mayors to request termination of such declarations and executive orders, with judicial review available if the governor denies the request.
