Provides for a special election, at the discretion of the governor, to fill vacancies in the office of comptroller and attorney-general

This bill allows New York's governor to decide whether to hold a special election to fill vacancies in the comptroller or attorney-general positions, rather than requiring the legislature to appoint someone. If the governor chooses to call an election, it must occur between 45 and 60 days after the governor's announcement. This changes the current process where the legislature would fill such vacancies, giving the governor discretion over the method of appointment.
