AN ACT to amend the state finance law, the economic development law  and
  the  environmental conservation law, in relation to the state procure-
  ment process and to healthy and green procurement

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

  Section  1.  This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York
state healthy and green procurement act".
  S 2. Legislative findings  and  declaration.  The  legislature  hereby
finds and declares that:
  (a)  As  New York moves into the twenty-first century the state should
serve as a role model for practices that  will  create  and  maintain  a
healthy  environment  and  vibrant  economy.  The  manufacture,  use and
disposal of commodities and technologies, the construction of  buildings
and the provision of services utilizing toxic chemicals may have adverse
impacts  on  public health and the environment. Persistent, bioaccumula-
tive toxic chemicals, such as mercury, lead, dioxin and poly  brominated
diphenyl  ethers,  are toxic in small amounts, remain in the environment
for long periods of time, and build to dangerous levels in humans,  fish
and  other  animals;  and  this  group of pollutants known as persistent
bioaccumulative toxic chemicals (PBT) pose risks to  public  health  and
the environment through their ability to cause cancer, birth defects and
endocrine  disruption.  Such  chemicals  have polluted hundreds of water
bodies, fish and waterfowl in the state. These  adverse  impacts  impose
costs  on  the  state and, ultimately, society as a whole in the form of
injury, disease and death; health care expenses; disposal, liability and
cleanup costs; the waste of resources and raw materials; and an impaired
natural environment.  PBT and cancer-causing chemicals may be found in a
wide range of consumer products purchased by state  agencies,  including
