Prohibits government entities from procuring and using technology products and services from companies owned by, controlled by, or domiciled in certain foreign countries.
New Jersey's S 321 prohibits state agencies, local governments, and political subdivisions from purchasing or using information technology products or services from companies owned, controlled, or based in foreign countries identified as significant cybersecurity threats by U.S. or New Jersey government agencies. The bill relies on threat designations from entities like the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Homeland Security, and New Jersey's Office of Homeland Security. It requires government entities to avoid technology from these specified countries to address cyber espionage risks. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
