New York state lawmakers on Friday approved a bill that would significantly strip Governor Andrew Cuomo of temporary emergency powers that he was granted last year to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, CNBC reported.

The state Assembly passed the bill by a margin of 107-43, hours after the Senate approved the legislation in a 43-30 vote.

The Democratic governor suggested earlier this week that he will sign the bill, which would revoke Cuomo’s power to issue new orders related to coronavirus, while allowing current orders to remain in effect, albeit with great legislative oversight.

The effort to limit his power came as Cuomo deals with two major scandals: a cover-up of Covid nursing home death data by his administration, and accusations by three women that he sexually harassed them.
