| Advisory Council On Procurement Lobbying |
| Our Organization |
In August, 2005, Governor George Pataki signed into law major changes to the Legislative Law and the State Finance Law which regulate lobbying on procurement contracts. The significant amendments included the creation of a new public body, the Advisory Council on Procurement Lobbying, to issue guidelines to assist governments in complying with the new law and to examine the effect of the new law. The new procurement lobbying restrictions are effective on January 1, 2006.
Chapter 4 of the Laws of 2010 was enacted extending State Finance Law §§139-j and 139-k through July 31, 2014. Assemblywoman Destito introduced the legislation on February 17, 2010 which also includes additional amendments to the statutes clarify various provisions to assist state agencies, public authorities, public benefit corporations and certain municipal entities (covered parties) in complying with the restrictions on communications and recording of contacts during the public procurement process. Senator Kruger introduced S.6924-B providing for the same amendments on February 25, 2010. The Assembly passed the bill on March 4, 2010 and the Senate passed it on March 9, 2010.
