Bill > A05659

This bill restructures the Not-for-Profit Contracting Advisory Committee by reducing its voting membership from sixteen to seven members, with three appointed by the governor from not-for-profit organizations, and additional representatives from the senate and assembly. The committee will now have eight non-voting ex officio members from various state agencies. The bill expands the committee's responsibilities, requiring them to meet quarterly and produce an annual report that will be publicly accessible. The committee's new functions include advising state leadership on contract implementation, monitoring the not-for-profit short-term revolving loan fund, reviewing agency compliance with contracting timelines, assessing grant management systems, providing feedback on procurement processes, and making recommendations to improve contracting procedures with not-for-profit organizations. The bill also includes a provision allowing the governor to dissolve and reconstitute the committee if it is found non-compliant with its mandated responsibilities. The new structure aims to create a more focused and effective advisory body for overseeing state contracts with not-for-profit organizations.
