New York City Council Member Amanda Farías led the Council on Thursday, April 30, in advancing Resolution 183, which calls for the passage from the State Legislature and signature from Governor Kathy Hochul of legislation meant to enable public institutions to have more preference for New York State farmers and utilize public dollars to advance public health, racial equity, good jobs and climate resilience.
The bill, S.7638-B/A.8091-B, also known as the Good Food NY Bill, would amend General Municipal Law 103 to allow agencies to award certain food contracts to bidders based in New York State with proposals within 10% of the lowest bid.
