Prohibits State contractors from distributing data to foreign adversaries.
New Jersey's Bill A-214 prohibits state contractors and entities seeking state contracts, subsidies, or tax benefits from sharing data with "foreign adversaries" as defined by the state. It requires contractors to certify they aren’t on a state-created list of entities sharing data with such adversaries, and mandates the Department of the Treasury to develop and update this list using public information, after providing notice and an opportunity to respond. Entities listed face ineligibility for state contracts, registrations, or subsidies, and may face civil penalties up to $1 million for false certifications. The law includes due process steps before listing entities and exempts data sharing required by subpoenas or court orders. The bill is currently pending before the Assembly Oversight Committee.
