S 9171 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Requires the public posting of certain contracts which are otherwise subject to the approval of the state comptroller

This bill requires state agencies to publicly post details about specific contracts that bypass the usual approval process by the state comptroller. It directly affects government departments and officials who execute emergency contracts or contracts exempted from standard review during state disaster emergencies. The law mandates that within thirty days of signing, agencies must publish the contract number, amount, vendor name, and a description of services on their websites, along with explanations for why competitive bidding was not used. This transparency measure ensures that contracts made under suspended laws remain open to public scrutiny while the governor retains the authority to declare emergencies. The changes become effective thirty days after the bill is signed into law.
