  procurements;  prohibitions.  If  a  vendor   prepares   and   furnishes

  used in a competitive acquisition, such vendor shall not be permitted to
  bid on such procurement, either as a prime vendor or as a subcontractor.

2023 New York Laws › STF - State Finance › Article 11-A - Interest Payments on Certain Amounts Owed by State › 179-D - Legislative Intent.

§  179-d. Legislative intent. Firms and organizations that do business
  with the state of New York expect and deserve to be paid in a prompt and
  timely manner.   Unjustified  delays  in  paying  vendors,  construction
  contractors,  and  providers  of  service  may discourage such firms and
  organizations from doing business with the state of  New  York  and  may
  ultimately  increase  the  costs  to  the state government of purchasing
  materials,  equipment,  and  supplies;  undertaking   construction   and
  reconstruction  projects;  and  obtaining a wide variety of professional
  and other specialized services including  those  that  are  provided  to
  persons  in need.  Consequently, this legislation sets standards for the
  payment of bills incurred by state agencies within specified periods  of
  time  and  requires  interest  payments  in  situations  where  contract
  payments do not conform to these  standards.  Consistent  with  accepted
  business practices and with sound principles of fiscal management, it is
  the  intent of this legislation to encourage state agencies in all three
  branches of state government to make payments at least as  expeditiously
  as  they  currently do and further to reduce existing payment processing
  times whenever feasible, while at the same  time  permitting  the  state
  agencies to perform proper and reasonable financial oversight activities
  designed  to  ensure  that  the state government receives the quality of
  goods and services to which it is entitled and  to  ensure  that  public
  funds are spent in a prudent and responsible manner.

2023 New York Laws › STF - State Finance › Article 11-A - Interest Payments on Certain Amounts Owed by State › 179-H - Determination of Appropriations Against Which Interest Payments Are to Be Charged.

§  179-h.  Determination  of  appropriations  against  which  interest
  payments are to be charged. Except in situations when federal law or the
  provisions of section one hundred seventy-nine-o of this article require
  otherwise, an interest payment required by this article  shall  be  paid
  from  the  same  appropriation  as  that  from  which the related proper
  invoice is paid; provided, however, (1) that the interest payment  shall
  not  reduce  the  amount  of money that otherwise will be payable to the
  contractor under the terms of the relevant contract and (2) that if  the
  obligation  to  make an interest payment is incurred in whole or in part
  because it takes the department of audit and  control  more  than  eight
  calendar  days,  excluding  legal holidays, from the date it receives an
  approvable voucher from another  state  agency  to  process  a  contract
  payment,  then  the  portion  of  the  total  interest  payment  that is
  attributable to delays by the department of audit and control  shall  be
  paid  from  funds made available to the department of audit and control.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of  law  to  the  contrary,  if  the
  amount  of  money  available  from  any  such appropriation to the state
  agency which received the proper invoice  is  insufficient  to  pay  the
  interest  and  if  for any reason it is not feasible for the director of
  the budget to exercise the transfer or interchange authority established
  by section fifty-one or ninety-three of this chapter,  the  director  of
  the  budget  may  issue  a  certificate  or certificates transferring or
  interchanging within a fund such amount as is needed to pay the interest
  to said appropriation within such fund from the unspent balance  of  any
  appropriation  that is available to the same state agency. In exercising
  the latter transfer or interchange authority, the director of the budget
  shall transfer or interchange amounts that are not needed to  accomplish
  the  purposes for which the appropriation was made, except, however, the
  director of the budget may, to  the  extent  he  deems  it  practicable,
  transfer or interchange amounts from appropriations that otherwise would
  be  available  for the administration and operations of the state agency
  which  incurred  the  interest  payment.   Any   such   certificate   or
  certificates  issued  by the director of the budget shall be sent to the
  state comptroller and copies shall be filed with  the  chairman  of  the
  senate finance committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means

  the  state  and  the  state  shall not reimburse the contractor for such
  interest, nor shall any moneys expended for such  interest  payments  be
  counted toward any matching requirement applicable to grants or payments
  of state funds unless expressly permitted by statute or regulation.

  supersede  the  provisions  of  section  one  hundred forty-five of this
  chapter.

  article, and any provision contained in such contract which  waives  the
  right  to  the  payment of interest is hereby declared to be contrary to

  this  article  shall  be  subject  to  judicial  review  in a proceeding
  pursuant to article seventy-eight of the civil practice law  and  rules.

  concerned,  shall not extend beyond the date of a notice of intention to
  file a claim, the date of a notice of a claim, or the date commencing  a
  legal  action  for the payment of such interest, whichever occurs first.
  Any such interest payment owed by the  state  government  in  accordance

  directed by the court and, to the extent that the  interest  payment  is
  attributable  to  processing  delays  caused  by  the state agency which
  received the proper invoice  or  by  processing  delays  caused  by  the
  department  of  audit  and  control, such interest payment shall be made
  from funds available to said state agency or to the department of  audit
  and control at the time of final judgment.
2. With respect to the court actions or other legal processes referred
  to  in subdivision one of this section, any interest obligation incurred
  by the state government after the date  specified  in  such  subdivision

  determined as prescribed by such separate provision  of  law,  shall  be
  paid  as directed by the court, and shall be paid from any appropriation

  short-term revolving loan fund established by section ninety-seven-jj of
  this  chapter to any not-for-profit organization in receipt of a written
  directive from a state agency. The state comptroller may provide such  a
  loan  to  a  not-for-profit  organization  upon  receipt  of  a  written
  agreement  providing  reasonable  assurances  of   repayment   that   is
  satisfactory  to  the comptroller. Such loan shall not bear interest and
  repayment of such loan may be prorated over the term of the expected  or
  renewal  contract,  provided  the  term  of the loan does not exceed one
  year. The amount of each such loan shall  not  exceed  one-half  of  the
  first quarter payment of the subject contract.
2.  The state comptroller shall only make loans after finding that the
  not-for-profit organization has a written directive from a state  agency
  and  cannot  provide or continue to provide services without a loan from
  the not-for-profit short-term revolving loan fund.
3. The state comptroller shall promulgate rules and regulations within
  ninety days of the enactment date of this act for the operation  of  the
  not-for-profit  short-term  revolving loan fund which shall include, but
  not be limited to, the criteria to be used in determining not-for-profit
  organizations eligible for assistance; a  procedure  and  any  necessary
  information   that   not-for-profit   organizations   need   to   submit
  applications for a loan from  the  not-for-profit  short-term  revolving
  loan  fund;  a  schedule  for reviewing such applications, not to exceed
  thirty days, and notification to an applicant of approval or disapproval
  of such application for interim  funding,  and  any  other  requirements
  deemed necessary by the state comptroller.
4.   Any   not-for-profit  organization  receiving  a  loan  from  the
  not-for-profit short-term revolving loan fund  shall  be  ineligible  to
  receive  interest from a state agency, notwithstanding the provisions of
  section  one  hundred  seventy-nine-v  of  this  article  and  shall  be
  ineligible  to  receive  advance  payments,  notwithstanding section one
  hundred seventy-nine-u of this article.
