Official statutory text
In the case of a respondent who is found by the Attorney General
to have engaged in a discriminatory practice in the course of
performing under a contract or subcontract with the state or any
governmental entity, or agency thereof, if the discriminatory
practice was authorized, requested, commanded, performed or
recklessly tolerated by the board of directors of the respondent or
by a high managerial agent acting within the scope of his or her
employment, the Attorney General shall so certify to the contracting
agency. Unless the Attorney General’s finding of a discriminatory
practice is upheld in the course of judicial review, the finding of
discrimination is not binding on the contracting agency. Upon
receiving a certification made under this section, a contracting
agency may take appropriate action to:
1. Terminate a contract or portion thereof previously entered
into with the respondent, either absolutely or on condition that the
respondent carry out a program of compliance with the provisions of
Section 1101 et seq. of this title; and
2. Assist the state and all governmental entities and agencies
thereof to refrain from entering into further contracts, or
extensions or other modifications of existing contracts, with the
respondent until the Attorney General is satisfied that the
respondent will carry out policies in compliance with the provisions
of Section 1101 et seq. of this title.
