Bill > S03305

This bill establishes the New York State Supplier Diversity Act, which aims to increase participation of LGBT, disability, and veteran-owned businesses in state contracts. The key provisions include creating a Division of Supplier Diversity to promote these businesses, developing certification programs, setting participation goals, and requiring state agencies to report on their progress. The bill also directs the Commissioner of the Office of General Services to conduct a study on whether set-asides or reservations of certain procurements should be required to achieve the bill's objectives.
