 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation  to  enacting  the  "stop
   continuing unnecessary orders and mandates at once act"

   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
 and  directives  have led to establishments putting "Cuomo Chips" on the
 menu so they can stay in business.
   The legislature recognizes that New York's businesses are the backbone
 of our state economy and the legislature must act boldly to address  the
 negative impacts the governor's various executive directives have had on
