Maddy summaryThis bill updates New York State finance laws to establish stricter rules for state agencies that fail to sign contracts with not-for-profit organizations on time. It creates a specific definition for a "noncompliant" agency, which occurs when an agency repeatedly misses deadlines for submitting or finalizing contracts with these organizations over a six-month period. To address these failures, the bill requires noncompliant agencies to submit detailed monthly reports to the state comptroller and their legislative leaders, explaining the delays and outlining steps to fix internal processes. Additionally, the law clarifies that any temporary written directives allowing not-for-profits to start work before a contract is fully signed must include a payment schedule and a warning that late payments will incur interest.

The law allows the commissioner to determine specific start and expiration dates for these registrations.
