 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 March 21, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. OTIS -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Governmental Operations

 AN ACT to amend the legislative law, in relation to the taking effect
 and sunset of a law

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

 1 Section 1. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section
 2 43-a to read as follows:
 3 § 43-a. Taking effect and sunset of legislation. 1. This subdivision
 4 applies where (a) an act of the legislature provides that the act shall
 5 take effect at a time after it becomes a law, and (b) a state or local
 6 government entity or official will have authority under that act to make
 7 rules or regulations and take other actions reasonably necessary to
 8 implement the act; unless the act specifically provides otherwise.
 9 Effective immediately when the act becomes a law, the entity or official
 10 may make those rules or regulations and take those actions reasonably
 11 necessary to implement the law on its effective date. This section does
 12 not authorize the making of rules or regulations on an emergency basis
 13 unless that action qualifies for emergency rule making under applicable
 14 law, and does not otherwise relieve the entity or official from applica-
 15 ble requirements of law.
 16 2. Where an act of the legislature amends a provision of law that is
 17 to be repealed or of no force and effect on or after a certain date, the
 18 amendment shall not affect the repeal or loss of force and effect of the
 19 provision, and the amendment shall be deemed to be repealed or to be of
 20 no force and effect therewith, unless the act provides otherwise.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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