Title of bill

Purpose
To clarify that the restricted period on a communications goes into effect at the first posting in the New York State Contract Reporter, on an agency's website or in a newspaper of general circulation of a request for proposal, invitation for bids, or solicitation of proposals.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends Subdivision f of section 139-k of the state finance law by amending the definition of "restricted period."
Section II sets forth the effective date.
Justification
The FY 2016-2017 enacted budget amended subdivision f of State Finance Law Section 139-j to clarify that a restricted period on communications will commence with the earliest posting on an agency's website, in the contract reporter or in a newspaper of general circulation of written notice, advertisement or solicitation of a request for proposal, invitation for bids, or solicitation of proposals intending to result in a procurement contract.
