BILL NUMBER:A9776
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to allowing not-for-profits to make purchases through county contracts
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow not-for-profit corporations that provide services to a county to make purchases or to contract for services through the county which the not-for-profit has a contract with in the same manner that political subdivisions and districts located within the county can.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends the gener- al municipal law by adding a new Section 109-c to authorize not-for-pro- fit corporations that provide a service to a county, to make purchases or to contract for services, other than services subject to Article eight, or any provision of the labor law, through the county which the not-for-profit has a contract with.
Section 2 of this bill is the effective date.
Justification
During these difficult economic times, local governments are struggling to provide essential services while minimizing the impact to taxpayers the rising costs for both commodities and services. One way in which local governments are successfully minimizing costs to taxpay- ers is through the collaborative procurement of goods and services with other local governments.
As not-for-profits that provide services to counties are also struggling during these economic times, this legislation will allow not-for-profit corporations to also procure goods and services collaboratively with local governments, to minimize the cost of providing services.
