Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Subdivision e of section 6-129 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by local law number 1 for the year 2013, is amended by adding new paragraphs 14 and 15 to read as follows:

(14) The division, in consultation with the city chief procurement officer, shall conduct, coordinate and facilitate mandatory trainings for agency chief contracting officers and agency M/WBE officers to assist such officers in pursuing the objectives of this section. Each agency chief contracting officer shall undergo such training on or before the ninetieth day after he or she becomes an agency chief contracting officer, and every two years thereafter. Each agency M/WBE officer shall undergo such training on or before the ninetieth day after he or she becomes an agency M/WBE officer pursuant to subdivision (f) of this section, and every two years thereafter. Agency chief contracting officers and M/WBE officers that have already undergone such training within the two years prior to the effective date of the local law that added this paragraph will be determined to be in compliance with the initial training required pursuant to this paragraph. The city chief procurement officer will report to the speaker of the council on an annual basis, and shall post on the City’s website, information regarding each agency’s compliance with this paragraph.  

(15) The city shall include on its website a list of city agencies, with the contact information for the M/WBE officer of each city agency and information about whether the agency’s staff have been trained as required by paragraph 14 of this subdivision.

§ 2.  This local law takes effect 120 days after it becomes law.
