 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring agencies to

 4 all contracting agencies to promptly provide written notice to all
 5 unsuccessful bidders that are certified minority-owned or women-owned
 6 business enterprises advising such enterprises of the completion of a
 7 procurement selection process and that such enterprise was not selected.
 8 Such notice shall also (a) disclose the identity of the successful
 9 bidder or bidders; (b) advise such enterprise, to the extent practica-
 10 ble, of the reasons for not being selected; (c) include, to the extent
 11 practicable, guidance concerning methods of improving future proposals
 12 or bids by such enterprise; (d) advise such enterprise, if applicable,
 13 of the opportunity to request a debriefing pursuant to section one
 14 hundred sixty-three of the state finance law; and (e) inform such enter-
 15 prise of the services available through the division of minority and
 16 women's business development and the office of the minority and women-
 17 owned business enterprise statewide advocate.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 19 have become a law; provided however, that the amendments to article 15-A
 20 of the executive law made by section one of this act shall not affect
 21 the expiration of such article and shall be deemed to expire therewith;
 22 provided, further, that the director of the division of minority and
 23 women's business development shall be authorized to commence the rule-
 24 making process required pursuant to section one of this act prior to the
 25 effective date of this act.
