Any questions regarding this change can be directed to OGS Legal Services at 518-474-5607.
In August, 2005, major changes to the Legislative Law and the State Finance Law were enacted which regulate lobbying on procurement contracts. The significant amendments included the creation of the Advisory Council on Procurement Lobbying, which issues guidelines to assist state and local governments in complying with the new law and to examine the effect of the new law. The new procurement lobbying restrictions became effective on January 1, 2006 and can be found in Sections 139-j and 139-k of the New York State Finance Law. Modifications to the Law were enacted in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010.
