Establishes procedures for filling vacancies in the office of lieutenant-governor.

This bill amends the New York State Constitution to set specific timelines and procedures for filling vacancies in the office of lieutenant-governor. The governor must nominate a replacement within sixty days of a vacancy, and the nominee must be confirmed by a majority vote in each house of the legislature within sixty days of the nomination. If the legislature rejects the nomination twice, the governor can appoint someone from the line of succession to the office of governor. The nominee must resign from any existing government position to assume the office of lieutenant-governor.
