Grants the governor power to effectuate emergency disconnections of utilities

Summary

The bill lets the New York governor order gas, electric, or water service to be disconnected from a building when occupants violate certain environmental, labor, fire, or local codes and an emergency threatens health or safety. The governor decides the disconnection is needed, can restore service when the emergency ends, and must report the action to legislative leaders. Annual reporting to the legislature is also required.
