 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 4, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. JENSEN -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Governmental Operations

 AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to allowing for
 in-state suppliers to receive preference in certain situations when
 the state is awarding contracts

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

 1 Section 1. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section
 2 149 to read as follows:
 3 § 149. In-state supplier preference for state contracts. 1. For
 4 purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the following
 5 meanings:
 6 (a) "State agency" shall have the same meaning as defined in section
 7 one hundred seventy-nine-e of this chapter.
 8 (b) "Existing in-state supplier" shall mean an individual or entity
 9 who is resident in the state and regularly and consistently does a
 10 majority of their business within the state who is able to provide goods
 11 or services that the state is looking to contract for.
 12 2. When a state contract for the purchase of goods or services is to
 13 be made and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, an otherwise qual-
 14 ified bidder who will fulfill the contract who is an existing in-state
 15 supplier of such goods or services shall be allowed to match the bid of
 16 the lowest responsible bidder before any contract is made and awarded by
 17 the state or by any state agency if such lowest responsible bidder is
 18 not an existing in-state supplier, provided that the cost included in
 19 the bid of such existing in-state supplier is not more than fifteen
 20 percent greater than the cost included in the bid of the lowest respon-
 21 sible bidder who is not an existing in-state supplier.
 22 3. If an otherwise qualified bidder who is an existing in-state
 23 supplier chooses to match the lowest responsible bidder who is not an
 24 existing in-state supplier, then the state or a state agency may give
 25 preference to such existing in-state supplier when making and awarding
 26 such contract.
 27 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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