NYC Council Committee on Contracts Holds Oversight Hearing on Timely Payments to Nonprofits
Lawmakers and city officials reviewed reforms to contract registration, invoice processing, and payment timelines to protect essential nonprofit services across NYC.
New York, NY – February 25, 2026 — The New York City Council Committee on Contracts convened today for an important Oversight Hearing titled “Ensuring Timely Payments for Nonprofits and Human Service Providers,” underscoring the City’s continued focus on strengthening fiscal accountability and improving contract payment systems.
