 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. COONEY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to the definition of
 small business for minority group members and women with respect to
 state contracts

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 20 of section 310 of the executive law, as
 2 amended by chapter 44 of the laws of 2024, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 20. "Small business" as used in this section, unless otherwise indi-
 5 cated, shall mean a business which has a significant business presence
 6 in the state, is independently owned and operated, not dominant in its
 7 field and employs, based on its industry, a certain number of persons as
 8 determined by the director, but not to exceed [three] five hundred,
 9 except during a declared state disaster emergency as defined pursuant to
 10 section twenty-eight of this chapter, not to exceed [three] five hundred
 11 employees who work thirty or more hours per week over the period of
 12 fifty-two weeks for a total of one thousand five hundred sixty hours
 13 worked, taking into consideration factors which include, but are not
 14 limited to, federal small business administration standards pursuant to
 15 13 CFR part 121 and any amendments thereto. The director may issue regu-
 16 lations on the construction of the terms in this definition. For
 17 purposes of this subdivision, an employee may break from employment for
 18 up to thirteen weeks without the fifty-two week lookback period reset-
 19 ting.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided however, the
 21 amendments to article 15-A of the executive law made by section one of
 22 this act shall not affect the repeal of such article and shall be deemed
 23 repealed therewith.

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