Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

Section one adds a new section 313-b to the Executive Law requiring the Division of Minority and Women's Business Development to prepare and release on its website an annual report concerning state agency utiliza- tion of MWBEs. The report must be based on actual payments or expendi- tures, to the extent such data is available, and must measure each agen- cy's utilization of certified MWBEs against applicable participation goals established under Article 15-A. - The report may include aggregate utilization information for minori- ty-owned business enterprises, women-owned business enterprises, and MWBEs across major industry categories, provided such reporting is consistent with Article 15-A and applicable state or federal law. - For each agency, the report must state the total dollar amount of MWBEeligible spending, total actual MWBE spending, the percentage of eligible spending represented by actual payments to certified MWBEs, whether the agency met, exceeded, or failed to meet applicable MWBE participation goals, the nature of the majority of spending, and, where available, a comparison of the agency's prior fiscal year actual spend- ing with the three previous fiscal years. - The bill authorizes the Division to consult with the Office of the State Comptroller and other state agencies as necessary to obtain contract, payment, or expenditure data, and clarifies that nothing in the section requires disclosure of confidential, proprietary, or other- wise protected information. Section two provides that the act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding the date on which it becomes law, and that the new section shall expire and be deemed repealed with Article 15-A of the Executive Law.
