BILL NUMBER:S7351 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the economic development law and the state finance law, in relation to making technical corrections relating to thresholds for the publication of procurement opportunities PURPOSE: The purpose of this legislation is to eliminate certain Contract Reporter Exemption Request (CRER) threshold discrepancies. The definition of a procurement contract contained in Section 141 of Article 4-C of the Economic Development Law was amended in 2012 to increase the dollar value of such contract from $15,000 to $50,000. However, the $15,000 threshold in Section 146 of Article 4-C of the Economic Development Law providing that in order to receive comptroller approval, a contract must be first advertised or an exemption granted was not similarly increased to $50,000. Additionally, State Finance law, Section 163(6)(a) notwithstands Article 4-C of the Economic Development Law and allows the Office of General Services (OGS) to procure goods and commodities not exceeding $30,000 without prior approval of another state officer or agency. It seems that the impact of this provision is that the Comptroller would not enforce the publication/exemption requirements for OGS contracts
