A 10647 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the inclusion of confidential clauses in contracts entered into for the purchase of services or commodities by the state

This bill prohibits state agencies from including confidential clauses in contracts for purchasing services or commodities. It directly affects state procurement processes by requiring all contract terms to be publicly available through the procurement opportunities newsletter. The law defines confidential clauses as any contract provisions not made accessible to the public, aligning with guidelines from the state procurement council. Contracts entered into after the bill takes effect must comply with this transparency requirement, while existing contracts remain unaffected.
