Bill > S02262

This bill restructures the Not-for-Profit Contracting Advisory Committee by reducing the number of voting members from sixteen to seven while expanding its responsibilities and oversight capabilities. The committee will now consist of seven voting members (three appointed by the governor, one each recommended by the senate president and assembly speaker, and representatives from senate and assembly committees) and eight non-voting ex officio members from various state agencies. The bill significantly enhances the committee's functions, requiring it to meet quarterly and empowering it to provide independent advice to state leadership, monitor state agency compliance with contracting timelines, review grant management systems, receive feedback on procurement processes, and issue annual public reports by December 1st. Additionally, the bill includes a provision allowing the governor to dissolve and reconstitute the committee if it fails to comply with its mandated responsibilities. The goal appears to be improving transparency, efficiency, and oversight in state contracts with not-for-profit organizations by creating a more focused and accountable advisory committee.
