What A 6573 does, verified January 8, 2026
This act aims to ensure that not-for-profit organizations receive payments from the city of New York in a timely manner. The city charter is amended to require payments to be made within thirty days, excluding holidays, after the contract is executed and filed with the comptroller. In cases where payment is delayed, the city comptroller may provide a non-interest bearing short-term loan to the not-for-profit organization through the returnable grant fund or other financial institution. This loan may be used to cover expenses until the payment is made. Not-for-profit organizations receiving loans under this section are ineligible to receive interest and advance payments on the contract. The act takes effect three years after it becomes a law.
