The New York state Legislature announced Tuesday it has reached a deal to repeal Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s emergency powers in the midst of twin scandals involving how he allegedly handled New York’s CCP virus response and allegations of sexual harassment.

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, both Democrats, made the announcement but did not specify when a vote will be held.
