AN  ACT  to  amend  the  state  finance  law, in relation to awarding of
  contracts

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative  intent. The legislature finds that it is the
public policy of the state to provide a wide variety of services to  the
people in a cost efficient manner while assuring the quality of life for
the  people  of  this state. The legislature finds that these objectives
can be maximized by establishing an orderly procedure  for  cost  effec-
tiveness  review  prior to a contract being authorized. It is necessary,
therefore, to establish minimum  standards  of  cost  effectiveness  and
accountability for all such contracts.
  S  2.  The state finance law is amended by adding a new section 147 to
read as follows:
  S 147. AWARDING OF CONTRACTS. 1. DEFINITIONS. AS USED IN THIS SECTION,
THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL HAVE THE FOLLOWING MEANINGS  UNLESS  OTHERWISE
SPECIFIED:
  (A)  "AGENCY" SHALL MEAN ANY STATE DEPARTMENT, STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW
YORK, BOARD, BUREAU, DIVISION, COMMISSION, COMMITTEE, COUNCIL, OFFICE OR
OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY PERFORMING A GOVERNMENTAL OR PROPRIETARY FUNC-
TION FOR THE STATE, INCLUDING ANY PUBLIC  AUTHORITY  OR  PUBLIC  BENEFIT
CORPORATION;  THE  CITY OF NEW YORK OR A PUBLIC EMPLOYER WITHIN THE CITY
OF NEW YORK, THE MAJORITY OF WHOSE BOARD ARE CITY OFFICIALS OR AN AGENCY
WHOSE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IS APPOINTED  DIRECTLY  OR  INDIRECTLY  BY
OFFICIALS  OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE NEW YORK
CITY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY IS EXEMPTED FROM  THE  PROVISIONS  OF
THIS  SECTION AND SHALL CONTINUE TO AWARD CONTRACTS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
