AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC PROPERTY AND WORKS -- STATE PURCHASES

SB 1001 prohibits state agencies from entering software contracts that restrict their ability to install or run software on their chosen hardware. This affects all state agencies purchasing software with public funds, including contracts for licenses, leases, and service agreements. The bill requires that software contracts must allow agencies to use their preferred desktop or server hardware without vendor-imposed limitations. It applies to all software purchases paid for with state funds, ensuring agencies maintain control over their technology infrastructure.
