MODERATE

The bill was reorganized into a 'Committee Substitute' version, updating the title to reflect state procurement rather than general state government. The scope was narrowed to apply only to contracts for goods and services, removing references to political subdivisions. Key definitions were clarified to include specific Chinese government entities and updated to refer to companies domiciled in the People's Republic of China rather than just 'Chinese companies'. The penalty for false certification remains $250,000 or twice the contract value, and a new exception allows contracts if no other reasonable option exists.
