 AN ACT to amend the New York city charter, the education law, the gener-
   al  municipal  law, the labor law, the public authorities law, the New
   York city health and hospitals corporation act, and the New York  city
   public  works  investment act, in relation to employment opportunities

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that both with-
 in  the  city  of  New  York and across the United States, over the past
 several decades, income inequality has  expanded  and  that  poverty  is
 frequently  concentrated  in  economically  disadvantaged regions.   The
 legislature also finds that economic disparities across individuals  and
 across  communities have further expanded due to the economic and health
 effects of the virus known as COVID-19.  The purpose of this legislation
 is to remediate these economic disparities by authorizing  the  city  of
 New York, the city school district of the city of New York, the New York
 city  school construction authority, the New York city health and hospi-
 tals corporation, the New York city industrial development  agency,  and
 other  city-affiliated  not-for-profit  corporations to use the economic
 power of their transactions to implement programs by administrative rule
 requiring contractors and subcontractors benefitting  from  such  trans-
 actions  to make best efforts to employ qualified economically disadvan-
 taged candidates and qualified candidates in such economically disadvan-
 taged regions.
   § 2. The New York city charter is amended by adding a new  chapter  78
 to read as follows:
                                CHAPTER 78
                COMMUNITY HIRING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
