Relates to divestiture of public funds in the Russian energy sector
This bill requires New York state agencies to stop contracting with companies investing over $20 million annually in Russia's energy sector (including oil, gas, and nuclear power). It mandates that state agencies verify contractors are not listed on a publicly posted "divestment list" of such companies, which the commissioner must create and update every 180 days. Companies on the list lose eligibility for state contracts unless they cease investments or qualify for specific exemptions (e.g., pre-existing contracts or critical needs). The law applies to all state procurement, including construction and services, and gives companies 90 days to contest inclusion on the list.
