The council adopted the measure as part of the general orders calendar.
The New York City Council adopted Intro 23‑A on May 1, 2025, directing the city comptroller to publish an annual report that indicates the total share of city procurement contracts awarded to minority‑ and women‑owned business enterprises (MWBEs). The report must include contract values, the awarding agency and demographics of the MWBE awardees.
Sponsor remarks: Majority Whip Selvina Brooks‑Powers said the report will provide independent, public data to evaluate and improve city contracting with MWBEs and help address barriers these businesses face when competing for public contracts.
Why it matters: advocates for MWBEs say improved transparency will help the city identify disparities in contracting and create a basis for policy and oversight. The comptroller’s office will be responsible for compiling and publishing the required data.
Outcome: Adopted as part of the general orders calendar; roll call recorded the package passage.
