BILL NUMBER: S5499

SPONSOR: JORDAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 22 of the laws of 2014, relat-
ing to expanding opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned busi-
ness enterprises, in relation to making certain provisions thereof
permanent

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of this bill makes Chapter 22 of the Laws of 2014, which
provides service-disabled veteran-owned business enterprise with
increased participation in state contracting, permanent.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In 2014, New York State enacted historic legislation, known as the
"Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Act", that created a set aside
in State contracting for businesses owned by certified service disabled

veterans. In its legislative findings, the bill states that New York
State "aims to assist service-disabled veterans in playing a greater
role in the economy of the state and to provide additional assistance
and support to disabled veterans to better equip them to form and expand
small businesses, thereby enabling them to realize the American dream
they fought to protect". This legislation created a 6% set aside for
such businesses, and it was chaptered as Chapter 22 of the Laws of 2014.

Chapter 22 of the Laws of 2014 was set to expire in 2019, but it was
extended in the 2019-20 budget. This bill will remove that expiration
date for the service-disabled veteran-owned business enterprises
program, making it permanent. This legislation will not only permanently
help veterans with disabilities reintegrate into the economy, but it
will send a powerful message that New York State will lend a helping
hand to those who have made great sacrifices for our State and nation.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the state.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
