General Procurement Information

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 became effective on January 1, 2006 and can be found in Sections 139-j and 139-k of the New York State Finance Law. Modifications to the Law were enacted in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010.

For further information regarding the Advisory Council on Procurement Lobbying, please contact OGS Legal Services, at 518-474-5607 or by email through the "contact us" button at the top of the page.
