New York A06256 proposes a constitutional amendment to require confirmation by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and Assembly for filling.

New York A06256 proposes an amendment to the state constitution, specifically to Article 4, Section 6. The amendment would require that any vacancy in the office of lieutenant-governor, whether due to death, resignation, removal from office, or ascension to governor, be filled by the governor within thirty days. This appointment would then need confirmation by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the Assembly. This change aims to ensure a higher level of legislative oversight in the appointment process for the lieutenant-governor position.
