Bill > S06514

This bill amends the state finance law to require that any state agency issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) related to gun violence reduction must create a coordination plan that includes all awarded organizations. The coordination plan, which must be approved by the Department of State, is designed to accomplish two key objectives: first, to ensure comprehensive coverage of the geographic area specified in the RFP, and second, to minimize competition between different awardees. An RFP is a formal document that solicits proposals from potential contractors or service providers, in this case specifically focused on gun violence reduction initiatives. The bill aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of gun violence reduction efforts by promoting collaboration and strategic coordination among different organizations that receive state funding for such work. The law would take effect immediately upon its passage.
