BILL NUMBER: S8451

SPONSOR: KAPLAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act authorizing the empire state development corporation to develop a
public awareness campaign promoting personal protective clothing and
equipment manufacturing businesses located in New York state

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation creates a public awareness campaign promoting personal
protective clothing and equipment manufacturing business located in New
York.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 creates definitions for personal protective equipment and
manufacturing business to be used within this act. Further, this section
requires ESDC to develop, establish, and implement a public awareness
campaign promoting manufacturing businesses and encouraging individuals

and businesses to purchase products from such manufacturing business-
es.This campaign shall include a website providing manufacturing busi-
nesses and their available products, including a Buy New York Personal
Protective Clothing and Equipment Online Networking Directory. Owners of
a manufacturing business may apply to ESDC to have their business
included. This directory will be searchable by type of PPE and include
all appropriate information regarding the business. Further the public
awareness campaign shall be by means including internet, radio and print
advertising. Importantly, ESDC will be required to post conspicuously on
its website any incentives available to manufacturing businesses and
purchasers of personal protective closing and equipment. This campaign
will start no late than July 1, 2020 and will require an annual report
to the Governor and Legislature.

JUSTIFICATION:

As we work to increase PPE manufacturing here in New York, we must
consider steps aimed at supporting and increasing the visibility of our
New York state manufacturers. This legislation seeks to take a measured
approach to specifically identify and create a searchable directory of
PPE manufacturers and their products. This searchable directory would
connect manufacturers and those in need of their products to help
protect New Yorkers from coronavirus and other communicable diseases.
This simple step would allow help create, grow, and support and industry
locally while also allowing purchasers to better identify and purchase
those locally made products.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Minimal.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day.
