Archive Contract Procurement Committee

• TBC “Outsourcing” Work Group
  • In addition to bills moving in the State Legislature seeking to enhance worker rights and pay equity, several bills have been introduced which, if enacted, will impose new restrictions on firms doing business with NYS and its public benefit corporations.  Senator Adams is sponsoring S.3814, a bill once carried by then Senator David Paterson.  Among its many provisions, the bill will require companies which are involved in the “practice of outsourcing jobs” to conspicuously post a disclosure  to any consumer doing business with that firm; and prohibit the state from contracting with any firm which “engages in the practice of outsourcing jobs” when state funds are used for such jobs or services.  The bill also prohibits any contractor that receives “developmental assistance” from the state from engaging in the practice of outsourcing jobs.  Given the tight fiscal climate and increased pressure to limit the use of outside consultants (see Executive Order 6), Business Council staff will continue to work with members to ensure punitive bills which seek to impede business competitiveness are not enacted.  For further information or to share your views on S.3814, feel free to contact Maggie Moree.
