A 9084: Grants a preference to New York state businesses in the state contract award process where the New York state business' bid is within five percent of the winning bid.
What A 9084 does, verified April 21, 2026
The proposed law aims to give a preference to New York state businesses in the state contract award process. A company is considered to have its primary business presence in New York state if it realizes more than fifty percent of its combined gross revenues from business activity generated in the state and has more than fifty percent of its full-time equivalent employees employed in the state. The law would give preferred status to bids where the winning bid is within five percent of the bid that meets this criterion. If multiple bids receive preferred status, the best preferred status bid would be considered the winning bid. The law would take effect one year after it becomes a law.
