Bill > A07116

This bill requires the New York State Comptroller to create and publish an annual, publicly accessible online report detailing minority and women-owned business development contracts and spending across state agencies. The report must be an interactive transparency tool featuring an intuitive dashboard with graphs and user-friendly tables that break down contract spending into four specific demographic categories: Asian American, Black American, Hispanic American, and women. The website must include comprehensive information such as the total number of prime contractors and subcontractors, the amount of money spent on each contract, and provide comparative data between fiscal and calendar years. Additionally, the report must archive historical data back to 2017 and be designed to allow users to easily search and disaggregate data. The Comptroller is also required to consult with the New York City Comptroller during the website's development to ensure comparable reporting and data organization. The bill aims to increase transparency and provide detailed insights into state agency spending with minority and women-owned businesses.
