Limits the use of messages of necessity to situations involving a state of emergency.

The bill proposes an amendment to the New York State Constitution to limit the use of messages of necessity to situations involving a state of emergency. It specifies that a bill cannot be passed or become law unless it has been printed and available to members of the legislature for at least three days, unless the governor certifies the necessity due to a state disaster emergency. The amendment would be referred to the next regular legislative session and published for three months before the next general election.
