AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to  enacting  the  "jobs  and
  trade act"

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

  Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
the "jobs and trade act".
  S  2.  The  labor law is amended by adding a new article 21 to read as
follows:
                                ARTICLE 21
                           JOBS AND TRADE ACT
SECTION 750. LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
        751. ROLE OF THE LEGISLATURE IN TRADE POLICY.
        752. LABOR AND TRADE ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCE.
  S 750. LEGISLATIVE INTENT.   THE  LEGISLATURE  HEREBY  DETERMINES  AND
DECLARES THAT:
  1. STATES HAVE TRADITIONALLY ENJOYED A LARGE DEGREE OF AUTONOMY TO SET
THEIR  OWN  PROCUREMENT AND EMPLOYMENT POLICIES UNDER THE U.S. SYSTEM OF
FEDERALISM.
  2. RECENT INTERNATIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTS THREATEN TO ERODE THIS TRADI-
TIONAL STATE AUTONOMY BY REQUIRING STATE GOVERNMENTS TO  ACCORD  FOREIGN
SUPPLIERS  OF  GOODS  AND SERVICES TREATMENT NO LESS FAVORABLE THAN THAT
AFFORDED TO IN-STATE SUPPLIERS. IN ADDITION,  THE  AGREEMENTS  STIPULATE
THAT  STATE  CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS MUST NOT BURDEN TRADE ANY MORE THAN
NECESSARY, AND LIMIT SUPPLIER QUALIFICATIONS TO QUALIFICATIONS THAT  ARE
"ESSENTIAL" TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT.
  3.  STATE  LEGISLATORS  HAVE  AN  IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN PRESERVING
STATE AUTHORITY OVER PROCUREMENT POLICY. THESE CRITICAL DECISIONS SHOULD
BE MADE ONLY WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE, AND ONLY AFTER THE

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