 Introduced by M. of A. FORREST -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Local Governments

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to the issuance of local
 state of emergency orders issued by chief executives of a county,
 city, town or village

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1 of section 24 of the
 2 executive law, as amended by section 5 of part G of chapter 55 of the
 3 laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:
 4 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, general or special,
 5 in the event of a disaster, rioting, catastrophe, or similar public
 6 emergency within the territorial limits of any county, city, town or
 7 village, or in the event of reasonable apprehension of immediate danger
 8 thereof, and upon a finding by the chief executive thereof that the
 9 public safety is imperiled thereby, such chief executive may proclaim a
 10 local state of emergency within any part or all of the territorial
 11 limits of such local government; provided, however, that in the event of
 12 a radiological accident as defined in section twenty-nine-c of this
 13 article, such chief executive may request of the governor a declaration
 14 of disaster emergency. Such proclamation shall remain in effect for a
 15 period not to exceed thirty days or until rescinded by the chief execu-
 16 tive, whichever occurs first. The chief executive may issue additional
 17 proclamations to extend the state of emergency for additional periods
 18 not to exceed thirty days. Following such proclamation and during the
 19 continuance of such local state of emergency, the chief executive may
 20 promulgate local emergency orders to protect life and property or to
 21 bring the emergency situation under control; provided, however, that no
 22 such order shall be promulgated or enforced that violates section two
 23 hundred ninety-one of this chapter. As illustration, such orders may,
 24 within any part or all of the territorial limits of such local govern-
 25 ment, provide for:
 26 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
