(WHAM) - The New York State Senate plans to vote Wednesday to repeal several executive orders issued by Governor Andrew Cuomo amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among the orders being repealed is a mandate that patrons at bars and restaurants order food with the purchase of alcohol.

In a released issued Tuesday, state senate Democrats said they plan to vote to reverse the restrictions as a way to get back toward "a sense of normalcy" and "enhance the quality of life for volunteers, patrons, and business owners."

“As more New Yorkers continue to get vaccinated, and our infection rates continue to decline, it is time to begin removing certain restrictions and regulations that are no longer necessary, so we can safely reopen and rebuild our state's economy," Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said in a statement.

The other orders being repealed include a rule restoring a rule labeling volunteers who take on significant government work as public officers in compliance with government disclosure and transparency rules. Legislative officials said this is the so-called Larry Schwartz rule, in which higher level individuals volunteered to work with New York government as advisors or volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic but were not subject to transparency laws.

Another order being repealed was requiring clinics to use all of their COVID-19 vaccine doses on hand within one week, with penalties if they do not.

The New York State Assembly is planning to pass the legislation Wednesday, as well. Since these are resolutions, Cuomo cannot use a veto vote.
