Requires contracts over $50,000 for PPE or medical supplies to be sourced in New York during disaster emergencies.

New York A03662 mandates that during a state disaster emergency involving an epidemic, pandemic, or similar disease outbreak, all contracts over $50,000 for personal protective equipment (PPE) or medical supplies must source these items in New York. Exceptions are allowed if sourcing locally would unreasonably increase costs, if local production is insufficient, or if sourcing locally would delay critical services. If New York sources are unavailable, U.S.-made items can be used. The bill amends the state finance law, public authorities law, and executive law to implement these requirements.
