Cuomo v. New York State Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government

Docket number
APL-2024-00076
Date

Plaintiff, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, claims structure of new state ethics commission violates state separation of powers laws because it has “quintessentially executive powers” — namely the ability to enforce ethics laws through civil penalties and discipline — but legislators and unelected law school deans have the power to appoint a majority of members.
