Bill > A03129

This bill requires the Department of Environmental Conservation to establish guidelines for disqualifying contractors from applying for standby contracts based on factors such as their past performance on state contracts, the reasonableness of the prices they have charged, any negligence or malfeasance committed during past state contract work, and any convictions for crimes that reflect on their honesty, integrity, or capability. The bill specifies that any consideration of criminal convictions must be consistent with Article 23-A of the Correction Law, which governs the employment of individuals with criminal records.
