 1 Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 28-b
 2 to read as follows:
 3 § 28-b. State disaster emergency allocation; priority in contracts and
 4 orders. 1. Subject to the state constitution, the federal constitution,
 5 and federal statutes and regulations, whenever the governor acts in
 6 accordance with section twenty-eight of this article, the governor is
 7 thereby authorized (a) to require that performance under contracts or
 8 orders, other than contracts of employment, which the governor deems
 9 necessary or appropriate to promote the health, safety and general
 10 welfare of the state shall take priority over performance under any
 11 other contract or order, and, for the purpose of assuring such priority,
 12 to require acceptance and performance of such contracts or orders in
 13 preference to other contracts or orders by any person the governor finds
 14 to be capable of their performance, and (b) to allocate materials,
 15 services, and facilities in such manner, upon such conditions, and to
 16 such extent as the governor shall deem necessary or appropriate to
 17 promote the health, safety and general welfare of the state.
 18 2. The powers granted in this section shall not be used to control the
 19 general distribution of any material in the civilian market unless the
 20 governor finds (a) that such material is a scarce and critical material
 21 essential to the health, safety, and general welfare of the state, and
 22 (b) that the requirements of such material cannot otherwise be met with-
 23 out creating a significant dislocation of the normal distribution of

 1 such material in the civilian market to such a degree as to create
 2 appreciable hardship.
 3 3. Subject to the state constitution, the federal constitution, and
 4 federal statutes and regulations, to prevent hoarding, no person shall
 5 accumulate (a) in excess of the reasonable demands of business,
 6 personal, or home consumption, or (b) for the purpose of resale at pric-
 7 es in excess of reasonable market prices, materials which have been
 8 designated by the governor as scarce materials or materials the supply
 9 of which would be threatened by such accumulation.
 10 4. Nothing in this section shall limit any power authorized pursuant
 11 to this article.
 12 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
