§ 1743. Equal employment opportunity program and minority and
women-owned business enterprise program. 1. Notwithstanding any other
inconsistent provision of law, sections 8-107 and 8-108.1 of the
administration code of the city of New York shall apply to the
activities of the authority.

2. a. The provisions of section 6-108.1 of the administrative code of
the city of New York with respect to the award of contracts to locally
based enterprises shall apply to contracts entered into by the authority
provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of such section or
of chapter thirteen-A of the charter of the city of New York, the
authority shall exercise the powers of the mayor set forth in such
section with respect to: the establishment of procedures for the
certification of businesses; the approval or granting of waivers of the
requirements of such section; the promulgation of rules and regulations
for the purpose of implementing the provisions of such section; and the
submission of annual reports concerning the administration of the
program established pursuant to such section. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the limitation on gross receipts of qualified locally based
enterprises set forth in clause (a) of subdivision six of paragraph a of
section 6-108.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York may
be raised by the authority upon a determination that a higher limitation
is necessary to meet the goals of the locally based enterprise program.

b. The authority shall establish and implement reasonable procedures
to secure the meaningful participation of minority and women owned
business enterprises in its procurement process. In addition to
procedures it has already adopted for such purpose, the authority may
use the same measures, to enhance minority and women owned business
enterprise participation, as are available to the city of New York
pursuant to article five-A of the general municipal law, section
thirteen hundred four of the New York city charter, paragraphs one and
two of subdivision i of section three hundred eleven of the New York
city charter, and section 6-129 of the administrative code of the city
of New York.

3. The provisions of executive order fifty of the mayor of the city of
New York, dated April twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred eighty, as amended,
shall apply to contracts of the authority unless and until such
provisions are revoked, and the requirements of chapter thirteen-B of
the charter of such city shall apply to contracts of the authority;
provided, however, that with respect to such order, or any other program
concerning equal employment opportunity or affirmative action to which
contracts entered into by the authority are subject, such program shall
be administered by an officer of the authority designated by the
authority, and no other agency shall have jurisdiction over the
compliance by the authority with the requirements of any such program.
