NY A09269

Authorizes the governor to order gas, electric, and water utilities to disconnect service to buildings without prior notice when occupants violate environmental conservation laws, labor laws, fire/building codes, or local health and safety regulations

Disconnection requires three conditions: a law or regulation violation by occupants, an emergency threatening health or safety of persons or the surrounding area, and the governor's determination that disconnection will help resolve the emergency

Governor's decision to disconnect is designated as "unreviewable discretion" for gas and electric utilities, meaning the determination cannot be judicially challenged

Service must be reconnected when the governor determines the emergency has ended

Governor must submit a report to legislative leaders within 72 hours of any disconnection order explaining the violations and emergency, plus an annual report by January 31st detailing all disconnections, reasons, and results
