  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 2879-a of the  public  authorities
law,  as added by chapter 506 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as
follows:
  1. Except as set forth in subdivision three of this section, where the
comptroller determines pursuant to his or her authority to supervise the
accounts  of  public  corporations,  that  contracts  or  categories  of
contracts  in  excess  of  one  million dollars [(a)] to be awarded by a
state authority [to a single source, a sole source or  pursuant  to  any
other method of procurement that is not competitive, or (b) which are to
be  paid  in whole or in part from monies appropriated by the state to a
state authority for such contractual expenditure,]  require  supervision
in  the  form  of  prior  review and approval of such contracts, and the
comptroller so notifies such authority of such determination,  then  any
such  contract  entered  into  subsequent  to such notification shall be
submitted to the comptroller for his or her approval and shall not be  a
valid  enforceable  contract unless it shall first have been approved by
the comptroller.  Such  notification  shall  identify  the  process  for
submission, the categories of contracts at issue and the time period for
which such submission is to take place. The comptroller shall promulgate
such  rules  and regulations as may be necessary to carry out his or her
responsibilities under this section, including but not  limited  to  the
standards  for determining which contracts will be subject to his or her
review and for approving such contracts.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth  day  after  it  shall
have become a law.

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