S 3775 New York Senate · 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 New York state agencies from including confidential clauses in contracts for purchasing services or commodities. It directly affects all state agencies that enter such contracts, requiring them to ensure all contract terms are publicly available. The key mechanism mandates that contracts must not contain any "confidential clauses" as defined by the law - specifically, terms not shared with the public through the state's procurement newsletter. This change takes effect immediately upon the bill's enactment, making all state procurement contracts fully transparent to the public.
