In New York City, the public advocate is designated to assume the mayor's responsibilities during their absence or incapacity, as per the New York City Charter. This temporary arrangement, currently held by Jumaane Williams, is strictly regulated to prevent disruption of city governance. The charter imposes significant limitations on the acting mayor's powers, including restrictions on making appointments and signing legislation for a set period. The delegation of these responsibilities typically falls to the First Deputy Mayor, which plays a crucial role in maintaining administrative continuity.
The New York City Charter outlines the succession of mayoral powers, designating the public advocate to temporarily take charge during the mayor's absence or incapacity.
Succession procedures ensure the public advocate, currently Jumaane Williams, can only act within strict limits, barring the ability to make appointments or sign legislation.
