Section 317. Superseding effect of article with respect to state law

The
  provisions of this article shall supersede any other provision of  state
  law,   which  expressly  implements  or  mandates  an  equal  employment
  opportunity program or a program for securing participation by  minority
  and  women-owned  business enterprises, concerning action to be taken by
  any party to a state contract, to which the provisions of  this  article
  apply;  provided,  however, that the provisions of any state law, not as
  hereinabove  superseded,  which  expressly  implement  or  mandate  such
  programs  shall  remain  unimpaired  by  the provisions of this article,
  except that the provisions of any such law shall be construed as if  the
  provisions  of  subdivisions five, six, seven and eight of section three
  hundred thirteen and section three hundred sixteen of this article  were
  fully  set  forth  therein  and  made  applicable  only to complaints of
  violations under such provisions of law occurring on or after  September
  first,  nineteen  hundred  eighty-eight; provided, further, that nothing
  contained in this article  shall  be  construed  to  limit,  impair,  or
  otherwise  restrict  any state agency's authority or discretionary power
  in effect prior to  the  enactment  of  this  article  to  establish  or
  continue,  by  rule,  regulation  or  resolution,  an  equal opportunity
  program  or  a  program  for  securing  participation  of  minority  and
  women-owned  business  enterprises with regard to banking relationships,
  the issuance of insurance policies or contracts for the sale  of  bonds,
  notes or other securities; and, provided further, that nothing contained
  in  the  immediately  preceding  proviso  shall  be construed to create,
  impair, alter, limit, modify, enlarge, abrogate or restrict any agency's
  authority or discretionary power with respect to  an  equal  opportunity
  program  or  a  program  for  securing  participation  of  minority  and
  women-owned enterprises.
