BILL NUMBER:S7340
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 549 of the laws of 2013 amending the executive law and other laws relating to reform of charitable organizations, in relation to providing that the state shall develop certain procedures for the New York state grants gateway
Purpose or general idea of bill
To ensure that nonprofits who are registered with the NYS Grants Gateway are not disqualified or declared ineligible during the time when they are amending their applications or other required legal documents to conform with the provisions of the Non-profit Revitalization Act of 2013.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one would require the state to develop procedures to ensure that any nonprofit that is pre-qualified or registered with the Grants Gateway and that has submitted changes to their prequalification application to the state by January 1, 2015 will not be disqualified, suspended or prohibited from applying for or receiving state grants or contracts until such amendments have been disapproved.
Section two states that this act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
In 2013, the State established a NYS Grants Gateway to simplify and streamline the process for nonprofits to apply for state grants and contracts. The nonprofits that are currently pre-qualified and registered with the Gateway have expressed concerns to the State Legislature over their ability to apply for, receive or renew state grants and contracts pending approval of these amendments.
This bill would prohibit the state from disqualifying any pre-qualified nonprofit from apply for or receiving state grants and contracts until the amendments are disapproved.
