(b) Said contract shall be let under the direction of the commissioner
separately from any other contract which is let under this article for
legislative printing for the legislature. Upon the written request of
the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly or
their designees the commissioner may delegate the administration of any
contract let under this subdivision to the commissioners of the
legislative bill drafting commission.
(c) Each contract let under this subdivision shall commence on the
fifteenth day of November of an even-numbered year and shall be for a
term of either two or four annual sessions of the legislature. The
temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly or
their designees shall provide the commissioner with a written direction
with respect to the length of the term of the contract. Each such
contract shall terminate on the third or fifth thirty-first day of
December after its commencement, as the case may be, except that any
duty, function or obligation performable during the last year of such
contract may be completed after its termination. Any contract which
provides for a term of only two annual sessions of the legislature may
provide the commissioner with an option to extend the term thereof for
an additional period covering the next succeeding two annual sessions of
the legislature. The commissioner shall exercise such option on behalf
of the legislature upon written direction provided to him by the
hereinbefore referred to legislative leaders or their designees.
Extension of the contract pursuant to the exercise of such option shall
be upon the mutual agreement of the parties, provided that the
provisions of any contract which contains such an option shall
specifically include a predetermined mechanism, whether set out in
specific monetary terms or by application of a prescribed formula or
formulae, whereby the parties shall be able to ascertain the
compensation to be paid by the state to the contractor or by the
contractor to the state, if any, and the maximum dollar amount of
subscription rates which the contractor may impose for the sale of the
state of New York legislative digest to all subscribers other than the
legislature during each year occurring during the extension of the
contract. Such predetermined mechanism shall be a part of the request
for proposals and may be specifically set forth in such request or may
be the subject of vendor bidding.
11. (a) The legislative printing for the legislature of the items
specified in subdivision two of section four of this article, other than
the state of New York legislative digest, shall be done under contract
as hereinafter provided. All provisions of this article relating to
legislative printing for the legislature which are not inconsistent with
the provisions of this subdivision shall apply to the letting of a
contract hereunder.
(b) Said contract shall be let under the direction of the commissioner
separately from any other contract which is let under this article for
legislative printing for the legislature pursuant to subdivision ten of
this section. Upon the written request of the temporary president of the
senate and the speaker of the assembly or their designees the
commissioner may delegate the administration of any contract let under
this subdivision to the commissioners of the legislative bill drafting
commission.
(c) Each contract let under this subdivision shall commence on the

their designees shall provide the commissioner with a written direction
with respect to the length of the term of the contract. Each such
contract shall terminate on the third or fifth thirty-first day of
December after its commencement, as the case may be, except that any
duty, function or obligation performable during the last year of such
contract may be completed after its termination. Any contract which
provides for a term of only two annual sessions of the legislature may

an additional period covering the next succeeding two annual sessions of
the legislature. The commissioner shall exercise such option on behalf
of the legislature upon written direction provided to him by the
hereinbefore referred to legislative leaders or their designees.
Extension of the contract pursuant to the exercise of such option shall
be upon the mutual agreement of the parties, provided that the

specifically include a predetermined mechanism, whether set out in
specific monetary terms or by application of a prescribed formula or
formulae, whereby the parties shall be able to ascertain the
compensation to be paid by the state to the contractor or by the
contractor to the state, if any. Such predetermined mechanism shall be a
part of the bid and may be specifically set forth in such bid.
