Prohibits State agency from entering into certain State contracts that limits ability of State agency to install or run certain software.

S 5014 prohibits New Jersey state agencies from entering contracts that restrict their ability to install or run software on their chosen desktop or server hardware. The bill specifically targets software licensing agreements for applications designed to run on standard hardware, ensuring agencies cannot be locked into specific vendor hardware requirements. This applies to all state agencies (including departments, commissions, and authorities) entering contracts paid for with state funds. The law takes immediate effect and requires software contracts to allow agencies flexibility in hardware selection.
