Relates to the reservation or set-aside of certain procurements by a state agency

This bill allows New York state agencies to reserve or set aside certain purchases specifically for businesses that meet specific definitions in the state's executive law. While giving agencies this flexibility, the law ensures that existing rules regarding preferred sources, comptroller approval, and record-keeping still apply to these reserved purchases. The changes take effect immediately, though the amendment to the state finance law will be repealed when that section is officially removed.
