BILL NUMBER:S3008 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to vacancies in the office of comptroller or attorney-general PURPOSE: To provide for special elections to be held to fill vacancies in the offices of the Comptroller and Attorney General. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill amends the public officers law to provide that when a vacancy occurs during the term of the comptroller or attorney general or united states senator, the governor may make a proclamation calling for a special election to fill such office. The special election shall be held not less than forty five nor more than sixty days from the date of the proclamation. JUSTIFICATION: The State Comptroller oversees the state's $145.7 billion pension fund and is responsible for hundreds of yearly audits of cities, towns, school districts and other government agencies. He or she is responsible for ensuring that tax dollars are spent prudently and productively. The Attorney General is the state's chief legal officer. The State Comptroller, Attorney General and United States Senator are all representatives of the people of the state and as such should always be elected by the people even in cases of vacancies. Enactment of this measure will ensure these officers are chosen by the people of the state and not the Legislature,
