Prohibits State contracts for technology with Chinese government-owned or affiliated companies.

New Jersey's Assembly Bill A253 prohibits state agencies from entering contracts for technology goods or services with companies owned, operated, or affiliated with the Government of China (including entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party). It requires all bidders for such contracts to certify they are not Chinese-government-affiliated, and imposes penalties - including a civil fine of $250,000 or twice the contract value, plus termination of the contract - for false certifications. The bill directly affects state procurement departments and technology vendors seeking New Jersey government contracts. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
