 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 8291

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 May 30, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. SANDERS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Procurement and Contracts

 AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to requiring that
 public contracts be divided by size into large, medium, small and
 micro contracts for the purpose of increasing opportunities for small
 businesses to participate in state contracts

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraph c of subdivision 10 of section 163 of the state
 2 finance law, as amended by chapter 95 of the laws of 2000, is amended to
 3 read as follows:
 4 c. The commissioner or state agency may elect to award a contract to
 5 one or more responsive and responsible offerers provided, however, that
 6 the basis for the selection among multiple contracts at the time of
 7 purchase shall be the most practical and economical alternative and
 8 shall be in the best interests of the state, and further provided that
 9 the requirements set forth herein shall not preclude the commissioner
 10 from establishing multiple award contracts for reasons including
 11 increased opportunities for small businesses to participate in state
 12 contracts. To the extent feasible, the commissioner or state agency
 13 shall endeavor to divide contracts by size into large, medium, small and
 14 micro contracts for the purpose of increasing opportunities for small
 15 businesses, including minority-owned business enterprises and women-
 16 owned business enterprises as defined in section three hundred ten of
 17 the executive law, to participate in state contracts.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
 19 have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to paragraph c
 20 of subdivision 10 of section 163 of the state finance law made by
 21 section one of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and
 22 shall be deemed repealed therewith.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
