顾问还将审查《州财务法》对“实质完成”的定义；签约的公共工程问题影响少数群体和妇女拥有的公司；并保留合同。

该法律将咨询委员会设置为21名成员，包括三个代表总承包商，三名建筑分包商，三名代表工人贸易委员会，两个代表少数族裔和妇女拥有的商业承包商，以及各个州官员和机构的其余建议。

介绍该立法的D-Queens的州参议员Leroy Comrie和众议员Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn，D-Brooklyn也介绍了另一个法案this month to increase the council to 23, adding a member representing service-disabled veteran businesses, and to specify that it is only a temporary group.

该法律使霍克尔（Hochul）60天任命理事会成员，然后他们有一年的时间就其调查结果发布报告，并建议立法，监管行动或最佳实践。

Comrie says the goal is to address problems in the public contracting process related to project payment reimbursement and even the way jobs are procured—resulting from feedback he’s received from industry participants..

“There have been a lot of problems with all aspects of the contracting process in terms of payment, reimbursement and actually even the way that jobs are promulgated,” he says.

So far, the plan has drawn support from both industry trade groups and workers who say they hope to work with the advisory council to improve public contracting.

“该立法建立的咨询委员会有助于为公共工程承包商创造一个更公平，更公平的环境，这反过来又有助于确保只有尊重工人尊严的负责任承包商领导基本公共工程项目，”18luck官网约克州立建筑和建筑贸易委员会在一份声明中说。

他说：“他们几乎不可能遵守承包商的规模或隶属关系。”“它劝阻小型承包商，尤其是少数族裔和妇女拥有的企业公司，将公共工作视为发展业务的可行选择。”

桑普森补充说，理事会需要确保工会和非工会工人“从高涨的工资中获利”。

纽约市官员报告了资本项目流程的一些改善，这要归功于采用18luck官网设计、在2019年的《纽约市公共工程投资法》之后的方法。当时的议会比尔·德·布拉西奥（Bill de Blasio）在11月说，设计建造过程已经剃光了两年的项目，该项目在布鲁克林的East Flatbush建立了新的娱乐中心。科姆里说，但是，纽约市和全州的公共签约过程仍然有改善的余地。

“It’s gotten better with design-build implementation over the last couple of years, but there’s still a lot of problems with the validity and synchronization of jobs from the beginning to end of projects, especially when it comes to the assigning of work and the tracking of work and the payment for work,” he says.
