Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Chapter 1 of title 6 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 6-149 to read as follows: � 6-149 Agency action plans. a. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following terms are defined as follows: "Contract" means a human services contract that exceeds the small purchase limit as set pursuant to the authority and procedure set forth in subdivision a of section 314 of the charter and is subject to the source selection requirements contained in chapter 3 of title 9 of the rules of the city of New York. "Human services" has the same meaning as such term is defined in section 6-148. "Human services agency" means any agency for which more than 50 percent of the total value of its registered contracts in the previous fiscal year was for human services. "Retroactive contract registration" means the registration of a contract by the comptroller on a date that is later than the start date specified in such contract. b. Beginning October 15, 2025 and each October 15 thereafter, each human services agency shall submit to the mayor and speaker of the council an annual report containing: (i) the total number and dollar value of contracts registered during the previous fiscal year, including the number and value of retroactive contract registrations; (ii) the average number of days from invoice submission to payment for such contracts during the previous fiscal year; and (iii) the total accrued payments owed to contractors at the end of the previous fiscal year. c. Any human services agency that either has registered 250 or more contracts within the previous fiscal year or has registered contracts in the prior fiscal year for which the total value of such contracts registered exceeds $25 million, and more than 50 percent of such contracts were registered more than 90 days after the start date of such contract, shall submit an action plan to the city chief procurement officer and the speaker of the council no later than January 1 containing, at a minimum: 1. An analysis of the causes of registration delays; 2. Specific procedural and operational improvements to be implemented; 3. An implementation timeline for such improvements with relevant milestones, including a timeline for implementation of recommendations included in the most recent report issued pursuant to subdivision e; and 4. Performance targets for the subsequent fiscal year. d. The requirements of subdivision c may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by one or more human services agencies through a consolidated submission by the mayor, or a lead office or agency as designated by the mayor, provided that any such consolidated submission shall include agency-specific data and performance targets for each participating agency. e. Beginning October 15, 2026, and each October 15 thereafter, the city chief procurement officer shall submit a report to the mayor and the speaker of the council analyzing citywide trends on the effectiveness of agency action plans. Such report shall include an assessment of each agency's progress toward meeting the performance targets established in such agency's action plan. For any human services agency that did not meet its performance targets, the report shall include additional recommendations for improvement. � 2. This local law takes effect immediately.
