Relates to reporting on agency minority and women-owned business development contracts and spending

This bill (A 7116) requires New York State's comptroller to create and maintain an interactive online report tracking spending on contracts with minority and women-owned businesses. It mandates annual public reporting showing how much state agencies spend broken down by business ownership categories (Asian American, Black American, Hispanic American, and women-owned), including prime and subcontractor data. The report must be accessible on the comptroller’s website with historical data dating back to 2017, allowing users to search and compare spending across years. This policy change increases transparency in state contracting without altering existing business development rules.
