Prohibits State contracts for technology with Chinese government-owned or affiliated companies.
This bill prohibits New Jersey state agencies from entering contracts for technology goods or services with companies owned, operated, or affiliated with the Government of China. It requires all companies bidding on such contracts to certify they are eligible to bid, and imposes penalties - including a civil fine of up to $250,000 or double the contract value, plus termination of the contract - for false certifications. The law directly affects technology contractors seeking state contracts and state agencies managing procurement. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
