The principal task of the Sub-committee is to help develop programs to ensure participation of minority and women-owned businesses in state agencies, public authorities, and public benefit corporations.

In 1985, the Sub-committee began an investigation of the affirmative action programs within state and local government in New York. During this investigation, the Sub-committee held hearings and collected extensive statistics on the nature of the work force in state and local government. Its findings and recommendations were contained in a 1986 report, Affirmative Action: the Crisis.
