Bill Summary
Prohibiting a procurement officer from requiring, as a condition to submitting a bid or proposal on a State procurement, a certain certification from a bidder or offeror or including a certain clause in a State procurement contract or contract renewal relating to boycotts of foreign countries.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits state procurement officers from requiring bidders or offerors to certify that they are not boycotting a foreign country, or that they will refrain from doing so for the duration of a contract, as a condition of submitting a bid or proposal for state contracts. It also prevents these officers from including such certification clauses in state procurement contracts or their renewals, with exceptions for requirements under state or federal law. The bill aims to align state procurement practices with the repeal of a specific executive order and mandates that state government units update their procurement policies and review existing contracts by June 1, 2027, with the act taking effect on July 1, 2026.
