New York State Supplier Diversity Act promotes participation of LGBT, disability, and veteran-owned businesses in state contracts.

The New York State Supplier Diversity Act establishes a framework to increase participation of LGBT, disability, and veteran-owned businesses in state contracts. It mandates the creation of a directory of certified businesses and requires state agencies to develop programs to foster their participation. The act also sets up a certification process and provides for hearings for businesses denied certification. Additionally, it requires the commissioner to conduct a study on setting a statewide goal for participation and to submit annual reports on the program's progress.
