        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The executive law is amended by adding a new section 32-a
     2  to read as follows:
     3    § 32-a. Contracts to disseminate  advertising  materials.  1.    Defi-
     4  nitions.  The  following terms shall have the following meanings for the
     5  purposes of this section:
     6    (a) "State agency" shall mean an agency as defined by subdivision  one
     7  of section thirty-five of this chapter.
     8    (b)  "Mailings"  shall  mean  any mail classified by the United States

     9  Postal Service as first class mail.
    10    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,  when  a  state  agency
    11  enters into a contract directly or through a third party to disseminate,
    12  through  mailings,  advertising  materials  to  the public relating to a
    13  product or service, such contract shall  exclude  the  advertisement  of
    14  products  or services of entities that are not defined as state agencies
    15  which relate directly to the authority, mission or subject matter of the
    16  state agency. Nothing in this section  shall  be  construed  to  prevent
    17  state  agencies  from  entering  into  agreements that are not otherwise
    18  prohibited by this section with entities that are not defined  as  state

    19  agencies or advertising their own programs, facilities, or operations.
    20    §  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all
    21  contracts entered into on or after such effective date.
