Relates to the purchase of domestically produced personal protective equipment

This bill requires New York state departments and authorities to prioritize purchasing personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical supplies made in New York for contracts over $50,000. It mandates that at least 30% of such items must come from preferred New York sources, while allowing the rest to be U.S.-made if New York sources aren't available. Exceptions permit bypassing the rule if the agency head determines it would cause unreasonable cost increases, delay critical services, or fail to meet quality needs. The policy directly affects all state agencies and authorities making eligible PPE or medical supply purchases.
