Requires the chancellor to certify that procedural requisites have been met before the filing of any contract awarded by a procurement method other than competitive sealed bidding, or prior to filing specified contracts, franchise, revokable consent or consession with the New York City comptroller. Establishes additional parameters and procedures regarding the filing and registration of contracts and agreements.
