 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. 1. The empire state development corporation shall conduct a
 study to explore the feasibility of a minority and women-owned  business
 enterprise  capacity mentorship program. The study should focus on which
 agencies and industries would benefit most from such program, the utili-
 zation of any existing  minority  and  women-owned  business  enterprise
 mentorship  programs,  and  any  fiscal  implications.  The  study shall
 specifically focus on:
   a. which state agencies would benefit most from such  program  concen-
 trating in construction;
   b.  which  state agencies would benefit most from such program concen-
 trating in professional services;
   c. which state agencies would benefit most from such  program  concen-
 trating in non-professional services;
   d.  which  state agencies would benefit most from such program concen-
 trating in purchases of commodities;
   e. the duration of time minority and women-owned business  enterprises
 should participate in each program concentration described in paragraphs
 a through d of this subdivision;
   f.  the  feasibility  that  such successful completion of such program
 could be used as a factor for prequalifying participating  minority  and
 women-owned business enterprises; and
   g.  how  such  program  can be tailored to better prepare minority and
 women-owned business enterprises for  bidding  on  contracts  with  such
 agencies upon successful completion of the program.
   2.  Within twelve months of the effective date of this act, the empire
 state development corporation shall issue a report of its  findings  and
