Summary

This bill would require immediate advance payment of 50 percent of the value of a non-profit contractor’s payment voucher as an advance upon registration by the comptroller. The bill excludes emergency contracts, specific contracts processed by the Department of Homeless Services for temporary housing assistance, any contracts processed by the Office of Criminal Justice, and residential foster care and emergency domestic violence contracts. The bill would also include exemptions for state and federal contracts where advance payments conflict with state or federal law, and would permit agencies to withhold advance payments from contractors who failed to submit required invoices for three or more consecutive months in the prior fiscal year due to contractor non-compliance rather than agency processing delays. It would also establish a reclamation process for agencies to recover advance funds when goods or services are not received or when the actual contract value is less than the amount of the advance
