On March 7, 2020, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued Executive Order 202, in which he declared a State disaster emergency for the entire State of New York. Since then, the Governor has issued many related executive orders in which he exercised his authority to temporarily suspend and/or modify various statutes, laws and rules. The effects of these executive orders have been far-reaching, from requiring all “non-essential” businesses to keep 100% of their workforces at home to suspending all public gatherings. We have summarized the executive orders that we believe will have the greatest impact on our clients.
