                                BILL NUMBER:S2733

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the state finance law, in relation to preferred source status
for the purposes of procurement

PURPOSE:
To protect jobs and help businesses located in New York State and that
generate economic activity in New York State. If a business is
located in New York and is bidding for a public contract, given that
the business produces a product of equal quality at a competitive
price, it is in the best interest of New York to award the contract
to a New York domiciled business. This protects jobs and generates
economic activity which in turn generates tax revenue.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Amends section 161 of the State Finance Law to add economic
nexus of the vendor to the guidelines for wise and prudent uses of
public money developed by the State Procurement Council.

Section 2. Amends section 162 of the State Finance Law to add New York
State based businesses as preferred sources for the purpose of public
contracts. To qualify a business must have an organizational presence
in New York State, generate at least 20 percent of its gross income
from business conducted in the State and have at least one employee

located in the State (excluding employees whose primary role is
government relations).

Section 3. Amends 162 of the State Finance Law to add New York based
vendors to the list of priority accorded preferred sources.

Section 4. Effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
New York State issues tens of billions of dollars in vendor contracts
annually. Awarding contracts to out of State firms is tantamount to
exporting jobs out of New York State and sometimes out of the country.
If a business is based in New York State, employs New Yorkers and can
provide the same quality of service at a competitive price, it
follows that public contracts should be awarded to that business.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.7743 of 2010, Finance

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Ninety days after being signed into law.
