2013-S6967 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S6967

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 1 of the laws of 2005,
amending the state finance law relating to restricting contacts in the
procurement process and the recording of contacts relating thereto, in
relation to extending the effectiveness thereof

Purpose of Bill:

This proposal extends for four more years the effectiveness of
sections one hundred thirty-nine-j and one hundred thirty-nine-k of
the State Finance Law (SFL) with respect to restrictions on
communications between bidding vendors (or potential bidders) and
contracting agencies during a procurement process and the recording of
such communications.

Summary of Provisions:

SFL §§ 139-j and 139-k would be extended for four years, through July
31, 2018.

Existing Law:

SFL §§ 139-j and 139-k are currently scheduled to expire on July 31,
2014.

Prior Legislative History:

SFL §§ 139-j and 139-k were last extended by chapter 4 of the laws of
2010. Previous extensions were enacted by L.2009, c. 169 and L.2007,
c. 501. These sections of law were added as part of a larger lobbying
reform bill, L.2005, c. 1.

Statement in Support:

Concerns about ensuring that the public procurement process was
competitive, open and transparent and conducted on a level playing
field led to the enactment in 2005 of SFL §§ 139-j and 139-k
restricting contacts during the procurement process and providing for
the recording of such contacts. The laws were originally scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2007, but have since been extended, most
recently by L.2010, c. 4. The continuation of these provisions is
important to maintain the integrity of the public procurement
infrastructure and to ensure the exercise of best practices in the
establishment and administration of State contracts.

Budget Implications:

None.

Local Impact:

None.

Effective Date:

Immediately.
