N.Y. Executive Law § 317: Superseding effect of article with respect to state law

* § 317. Superseding effect of article with respect to state law. The

provisions of this article shall supersede any other provision of state

law, which expressly implements or mandates an equal employment

opportunity program or a program for securing participation by minority

and women-owned business enterprises, concerning action to be taken by

any party to a state contract, to which the provisions of this article

apply; provided, however, that the provisions of any state law, not as

hereinabove superseded, which expressly implement or mandate such

programs shall remain unimpaired by the provisions of this article,

except that the provisions of any such law shall be construed as if the

provisions of subdivisions five, six, seven and eight of section three

hundred thirteen and section three hundred sixteen of this article were

fully set forth therein and made applicable only to complaints of

violations under such provisions of law occurring on or after September

first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight; provided, further, that nothing

contained in this article shall be construed to limit, impair, or

otherwise restrict any state agency's authority or discretionary power

in effect prior to the enactment of this article to establish or

continue, by rule, regulation or resolution, an equal opportunity

program or a program for securing participation of minority and

women-owned business enterprises with regard to banking relationships,

the issuance of insurance policies or contracts for the sale of bonds,

notes or other securities; and, provided further, that nothing contained

in the immediately preceding proviso shall be construed to create,

impair, alter, limit, modify, enlarge, abrogate or restrict any agency's

authority or discretionary power with respect to an equal opportunity

program or a program for securing participation of minority and

women-owned enterprises.
