An Act relative to electronic security for the Commonwealth

This bill prohibits the Massachusetts state government and its grant recipients from purchasing or using electronic security equipment made by entities based in China, including the Chinese Communist Party. It requires all state contracts over $500,000 for such equipment to comply with federal security regulations and bans procurement of items listed under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act. Grant recipients must replace existing Chinese-made security equipment within 180 days of the law's enactment and submit a replacement plan within 90 days. The law directly affects state agencies, quasi-government entities, and organizations receiving Commonwealth funding.
