 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to equal pay reporting by

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 313-a of the executive law, as added by chapter 175
 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
   § 313-a. Diversity practices of state contractors.  1.  ASSESSMENT  OF
 DIVERSITY PRACTICES. The director shall promulgate rules and regulations
 setting  forth  measures and procedures to require all contracting agen-
 cies, where practicable, feasible and appropriate, to assess the  diver-
 sity practices of contractors submitting bids or proposals in connection
 with  the  award  of  a state contract. Such rules and regulations shall
 take into account: the nature of the labor, services,  supplies,  equip-
 ment  or  materials  being  procured  by the state agency; the method of
 procurement required to be used by a state agency to award the  contract
 and  minority  and women-owned business utilization plans required to be
 submitted pursuant to sections three hundred twelve  and  three  hundred
 thirteen  of  this article; and such other factors as the director deems
 appropriate or necessary to promote the  award  of  state  contracts  to
 contractors  having sound diversity practices. Such assessment shall not
 in any way permit the  automatic  rejection  of  a  bid  or  procurement
 contract  proposal  based  on  lack of adherence to diversity practices.
 Each bid or proposal shall be analyzed on an individual per bid  or  per
 proposal  basis  with the contractor's diversity practices considered as
 only a part of a wider consideration of several factors when deciding to
 award or decline to award a bid or proposal. The director shall  develop
 the  rules  and  regulations  required hereunder only after consultation
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
