        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  GALEF, OTIS -- read once and referred to the
          Committee on Local Governments -- reported and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Ways and Means -- advanced to a third reading, passed by Assem-

        AN  ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to allowing not-
          for-profits to make purchases through county contracts
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The  general  municipal  law  is  amended by adding a new
     2  section 109-c to read as follows:
     3    § 109-c. Purchases through county contracts by certain  not-for-profit
     4  corporations.  Not-for-profit  corporations  that provide a service to a
     5  county are authorized to make purchases  or  to  contract  for  services
     6  other  than  services  subject to article eight or any provisions of the
     7  labor law and other than purchases of motor fuel, diesel motor  fuel  or
     8  cigarettes,  through  the county which the not-for-profit has a contract
     9  with. Such purchases or contracts for services  made  through  a  county
    10  contract  by  a  not-for-profit shall directly relate to the service for
    11  which the not-for-profit provides to such county.  The county may estab-
    12  lish limitations with respect to commodities  and  services  and  impose
    13  such other appropriate conditions upon purchasing as deemed necessary by
    14  the  chief fiscal officer of the county in order to protect the county's
    15  own purchasing interests; and such not-for-profit corporation shall make
    16  any purchase pursuant to this section in its own name  and  accept  sole
    17  responsibility for any payment due to the vendor and such not-for-profit
    18  corporation  and  vendor  shall each be responsible for any tax due with
    19  respect to the purchases by the not-for-profit corporation.  Nothing  in
    20  this  section  shall be construed as altering any tax exemption afforded
    21  to the not-for-profit  corporation  or  as  creating  a  principal/agent
    22  relationship between the county and not-for-profit corporation.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
