   (D) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW,  THE  DIRECTOR  AND  A
 CITY  WITH A POPULATION GREATER THAN ONE MILLION PERSONS, ACTING THROUGH

 PROCEDURE THROUGH WHICH: (I) SUCH CITY SHALL ACCEPT AN APPLICANT'S STATE
 CERTIFICATION  VERIFICATION  IN  LIEU  OF  REQUIRING  SUCH  APPLICANT TO
 COMPLETE SUCH CITY'S PROCESS FOR CERTIFICATION AS A MINORITY  OR  WOMEN-
 OWNED  BUSINESS  ENTERPRISE  OR MEET THE CERTIFICATION STANDARDS OF SUCH
 CITY'S MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE  PROGRAM;  AND  (II)
 THE  OFFICE  SHALL ACCEPT AN APPLICANT'S CITY CERTIFICATION VERIFICATION
 IN LIEU OF REQUIRING AN APPLICANT TO COMPLETE THE  PROCESS  FOR  CERTIF-
 ICATION  AS  A  MINORITY  OR WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE OR MEET THE
 APPLICABLE CERTIFICATION STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE;  PROVIDED,
 HOWEVER,  THAT  SUCH MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING MAY INCLUDE ONE OR MORE
 EXCEPTIONS IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE DIRECTOR AND SUCH MAYOR  DETERMINE
 THAT  SUCH EXCEPTIONS WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF BOTH SUCH CITY'S
 PROGRAM AND THE PROGRAM ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE.    NOTHING

   §  2.  This  act  shall  take effect on the two hundred seventieth day
 after it shall have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments
 to subdivision 2-a of section 314 of the executive law made  by  section
 one of this act shall not affect the repeal of article 15-A of the exec-
 utive  law  pursuant to chapter 261 of the laws of 1988, as amended, and
