1. a. Whenever any obligation is imposed by law upon a contracting agency to set aside a percentage of State contracts awarded by that agency for minority businesses or women's businesses, compliance with that requirement shall be calculated based, according to objective and verifiable standards as promulgated pursuant to administrative regulation, upon the dollar value of payments actually made each year to, and received by, minority businesses and women's businesses pursuant to State contracts awarded by that agency, or subcontracts thereto, compared to the total of all payments made to, and received by, all parties awarded State contracts by that agency.
Compliance with any such set-aside requirement shall not be calculated using statements made by bidders with respect to the portion of a contract which the bidder intends to subcontract to minority businesses or women's businesses.
b. As used in this section:
"contracting agency" means the State or any board, commission, committee, authority or agency of the State; and
"State contract" means any purchase, contract or agreement the cost or contract price of which is to be paid, in whole or in part, with or out of State funds.
