AI Summary
This bill prohibits certain business dealings with agents of foreign adversaries by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). Specifically, it defines "nonmarket economy country" as a country identified as such under the Tariff Act of 1930, and prohibits the Commonwealth and MBTA from entering into procurement contracts, agreements, or subcontracts with vendors or entities that are incorporated or have manufacturing facilities in the United States and receive support from the government of a country designated as a nonmarket economy. The bill applies to existing contracts and agreements, and gives the Secretary of Transportation the authority to approve or disapprove any MBTA contracts or subcontracts that involve such vendors or entities.
