ALBANY — A state court has agreed to review whether New York’s new gun-control legislation was illegally rushed into law.
Albany State Supreme Court Judge Gerald Connolly yesterday ordered Gov. Cuomo and legislative leaders to appear at a March 11 hearing to determine whether the case should proceed.
The order came in response to a lawsuit by We the People of New York, a gun-rights group of 1,200 people from 58 counties across the state.
The nation’s toughest gun laws were passed Jan. 15 by suspending the three-day review usually required before votes on bills. Cuomo used an emergency act, a “message of necessity,” to bypass the three-day rule.
The court ordered the governor and Legislature to prove the message of necessity was warranted.
