 AN  ACT  to  amend  the executive law, in relation to enacting the "stop
   continuing unnecessary orders and mandates at once act"; and to  amend
   chapter 71 of the laws of 2021, amending the executive law relating to
   the  termination of certain executive powers, in relation to requiring
   the governor to notify the legislature  of  a  proposed  extension  or
   modification of an executive order
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
 the "stop continuing unnecessary orders and mandates at once act".
   §  2. Legislative intent. The legislature seeks to provide legislative
 review and authorization of any executive orders issued by the  governor
 which  would  extend  or  modify  a  directive issued in response to the
 COVID-19 pandemic. To date, nothing has been done to balance the  powers
 of  the  governor and the legislature. In fact, the executive branch has
 been given more power. This act serves as a necessary measure to  ensure
 that  the  power of the executive is checked and that the elected repre-
 sentatives of the people of New York in the legislature are empowered to
 effectively govern in times of crisis. Further, it is the intent of this
 act to allow businesses to operate with proper public health  guidelines
 such  as the wearing of face coverings, social distancing and sanitation
 protocols without further government interference.
   Many  businesses  have  been  deemed  non-essential  or   have   faced
 restrictions  or closures as a result of the governor's executive orders
 and directives contained therein. These executive orders and  directives
 have  been  overreaching  and anti-business. Businesses have had to jump
 through hoops to remain open and make ends meet. These executive  orders
