          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

     3  follows:
     4    5. (a) With  the  exception  of  provisional  MWBE  certification,  as
     5  provided for in subdivision twenty-three of section three hundred ten of
     6  this  article,  all minority and women-owned business enterprise certif-
     7  ications shall be valid for a period of five years.
     8    (b) Upon the expiration of a minority and women-owned business  enter-
     9  prise certification and the submission of a new application for minority
    10  and  women-owned  business  enterprise  recertification,  if there is no
    11  change in the ownership of the enterprise and no material change in  the
    12  nature  or  management  of the enterprise from the time of approval of a
    13  previous original minority and women-owned business  enterprise  certif-
    14  ication  that was approved within the previous ten years, if such appli-
    15  cation is compliant with 21 NYCRR 9606 then there shall be a  rebuttable
    16  presumption  that the previous minority-owned business enterprise satis-
    17  fies the requirements of paragraphs (a),  (b)  and  (c)  of  subdivision
    18  seven of section three hundred ten of this article and that the previous
    19  women-owned business enterprise satisfies the requirements of paragraphs

         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD02858-03-4

        A. 1621--B                          2

     1  (a),  (b) and (c) of subdivision fifteen of section three hundred ten of
     2  this article.
     3    §  2.  This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
     4  the date upon which it shall have become a law and shall apply to appli-
     5  cations submitted by a business enterprise for minority and  women-owned
     6  business  enterprise  recertification submitted on and after such effec-
     7  tive date; provided, however, that the amendments to section 314 of  the
     8  executive  law  made    by  section one of this act shall not affect the
     9  repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
