Jennings | 0005| | 0006| | 0007| | 0008| FOR THE REVENUE STABILIZATION AND TAX POLICY COMMITTEE | 0009| | 0010| AN ACT | 0011| RELATING TO PROCUREMENT; PROVIDING FOR EQUAL TREATMENT OF NEW | 0012| MEXICO BUSINESSES WITH NEW YORK BUSINESSES IN PROCUREMENT | 0013| MATTERS; AMENDING AND ENACTING SECTIONS OF THE NMSA 1978; | 0014| DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. | 0015| | 0016| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO: | 0017| Section 1. [NEW MATERIAL] EQUAL PROCUREMENT ACCESS FOR | 0018| NEW YORK BUSINESSES.-- | 0019| A. Certain recent amendments to the New York state | 0020| procurement statutes have the effect of prohibiting New Mexico | 0021| businesses from selling goods or providing services to New York | 0022| state and local governments and quasi-governmental entities. | 0023| This act eliminates all differential treatment of any kind | 0024| between New York state business enterprises and New Mexico | 0025| businesses in New Mexico procurement and thereby negates the | 0001| application to New Mexico businesses of the New York amendments | 0002| and protects the access of New Mexico businesses to the New | 0003| York market. | 0004| B. New York state business enterprises shall be | 0005| treated as New Mexico resident businesses or resident | 0006| manufactures for all procurement purposes. | 0007| Section 2. Section 13-1-21 NMSA 1978 (being Laws 1979, | 0008| Chapter 72, Section 1, as amended) is amended to read: | 0009| "13-1-21. APPLICATION OF PREFERENCES.-- | 0010| A. For the purposes of this section: | 0011| (1) "resident business" means a New Mexico | 0012| resident business or a New York state business enterprise; | 0013| (2) "New Mexico resident business" means a | 0014| business that is authorized to do and is doing business under | 0015| the laws of this state and: | 0016| (a) that maintains its principal place | 0017| of business in the state; | 0018| (b) has staffed an office and has paid | 0019| applicable state taxes for two years prior to the awarding of | 0020| the bid and has five or more employees who are residents of the | 0021| state; or | 0022| (c) is an affiliate of a business that | 0023| meets the requirements of Subparagraph (a) or (b) of this | 0024| paragraph.

When bids are received only from nonresident | 0009| businesses and resident businesses and the lowest responsible | 0010| bid is from a nonresident business, the contract shall be | 0011| awarded to the resident business whose bid is nearest to the | 0012| bid price of the otherwise low nonresident business bidder if | 0013| the bid price of the resident bidder is made lower than the bid | 0014| price of the nonresident business when multiplied by a factor | 0015| of .95. | 0016| C. When bids are received only from nonresident | 0017| businesses and resident manufacturers and the lowest | 0018| responsible bid is from a nonresident business, the contract | 0019| shall be awarded to the resident manufacturer whose bid is | 0020| nearest to the bid price of the otherwise low nonresident | 0021| business bidder if the bid price of the resident manufacturer | 0022| is made lower than the bid price of the nonresident business | 0023| when multiplied by a factor of .95. | 0024| D. When bids are received only from resident | 0025| businesses and resident manufacturers and the lowest | 0001| responsible bid is from a resident business, the contract shall | 0002| be awarded to the resident manufacturer whose bid is nearest to | 0003| the bid price of the otherwise low resident business bidder if | 0004| the bid price of the resident manufacturer is made lower than | 0005| the bid price of the resident business when multiplied by a | 0006| factor of .95. | 0007| E. When bids are received from resident | 0008| manufacturers, resident businesses and nonresident businesses | 0009| and the lowest responsible bid is from a resident business, the | 0010| contract shall be awarded to the resident manufacturer whose | 0011| bid is nearest to the bid price of the otherwise low resident | 0012| business bidder if the bid price of the resident manufacturer | 0013| is made lower than the bid price of the resident business when | 0014| multiplied by a factor of .95. | 0015| F. When bids are received from resident | 0016| manufacturers, resident businesses and nonresident businesses | 0017| and the lowest responsible bid is from a nonresident business, | 0018| the contract shall be awarded to the resident manufacturer | 0019| whose bid is nearest to the bid price of the otherwise low | 0020| nonresident business bidder if the bid price of the resident | 0021| manufacturer is evaluated as lower than the bid price of the | 0022| nonresident business when multiplied by a factor of .95. If | 0023| there is no resident manufacturer eligible for award under this | 0024| provision, then the contract shall be awarded to the resident | 0025| business whose bid is nearest to the bid price of the otherwise | 0001| low nonresident business bidder if the bid price of the | 0002| resident business is made lower than the bid price of the | 0003| nonresident business when multiplied by a factor of .95. | 0004| G.

When bids are received for both recycled content | 0011| goods and virgin content goods, and the lowest responsible bid | 0012| is for recycled content goods offered by a nonresident business | 0013| or nonresident manufacturer, the contract shall be awarded to: | 0014| (1) a resident manufacturer offering the | 0015| lowest bid on recycled content goods of equal quality if the | 0016| bid price of the resident manufacturer when multiplied by a | 0017| factor of .95 is made lower than the otherwise low recycled | 0018| content goods bid price; or | 0019| (2) a resident business offering a bid on | 0020| recycled content goods of equal quality if: | 0021| (a) the bid price of no resident | 0022| manufacturer following application of the preference allowed in | 0023| Paragraph (1) of this subsection can be made sufficiently low; | 0024| and | 0025| (b) the lowest bid price of the resident | 0001| business when multiplied by a factor of .95 is made lower than | 0002| the otherwise low recycled content goods bid price offered by a | 0003| nonresident business or manufacturer. | 0004| J. When bids are received for both recycled content | 0005| goods and virgin content goods, and the lowest responsible bid | 0006| is for recycled content goods offered by a resident business, | 0007| the contract shall be awarded to a resident manufacturer | 0008| offering the lowest bid on recycled content goods of equal | 0009| quality if the bid price of the resident manufacturer when | 0010| multiplied by a factor of .95 is made lower than the otherwise | 0011| low recycled content goods bid price. | 0012| K. This section shall not apply when the | 0013| expenditure of federal funds designated for a specific purchase | 0014| is involved or for any bid price greater than five million | 0015| dollars ($5,000,000)." | 0016| Section 3. Section 13-4-2 NMSA 1978 (being Laws 1984, | 0017| Chapter 66, Section 2, as amended) is amended to read: | 0018| "13-4-2.
