S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7764 I N S E N A T E January 11, 2022 ___________ Introduced by Sen. COMRIE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules AN ACT to amend a chapter of the laws of 2021 establishing a construction industry advisory council on public contracting reform, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4323-C and A. 6232-C, in relation to the membership of such committee and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Sections 1, 2, 3, 9 and 11 of a chapter of the laws of 2021 establishing a construction industry advisory council on public contracting reform, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4323-C and A. 6232-C, are amended to read as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent. [The legislature finds that construction contractors often face significant challenges when bidding and working on public works projects in New York state. Often, the inclusion of onerous or inequitable contract terms and conditions governing issues such as contractor payment, job delays and dispute resolution, can place an unfair burden on contractors in public works projects. Furthermore, the legislature finds that many prior, piecemeal attempts to address these inequities through individual approaches have proven unsuccessful, and therefore a more equitable and comprehensive approach is warranted. The legislature also finds that current ineffi- ciencies in the public contracting process are responsible for driving up the cost of construction, making New York a less competitive place to engage in such work in relation to other states, which in turn harms the New York state economy and costs jobs. Therefore, it] IT is the intent of the legislature to establish [an] A TEMPORARY independent advisory council charged with (a) studying the current public contracting process; and (b) adopting recommendations, best practices and legislative proposals in order to reform and improve the current state public contracting process, by making it fairer, predictable and equitable for all parties involved. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD08796-08-2
