NY A01042

Requires all state agencies to allocate at least 50% of their annual print and digital advertising spending to local, community, and ethnic media outlets by December 31, 2027

Defines "local, community and ethnic media" as publications serving geographically contiguous areas no greater than one-fifth of the state, or content created for communities based on language, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or immigrant status

Directs the Office of General Services to develop and maintain an approved list of local, community, and ethnic media outlets for state agencies to use

Mandates annual reporting to the Governor, Senate, and Assembly on each agency's total advertising spending and local/community/ethnic media spending, with data posted publicly on the Office of General Services website

Exempts legally required notices from the 50% spending requirement, allowing agencies to subtract those costs before calculating their local media advertising obligations
