Prohibits any foreign company created under laws of foreign adversary from participating in critical infrastructure.
New Jersey's Bill A 2862 prohibits foreign companies created under the laws of a "foreign adversary" from participating in the construction, maintenance, or control of critical infrastructure within the state. It defines "critical infrastructure" to include communication networks, electric power systems, gas distribution, water pipelines, and related equipment. The bill requires all New Jersey state agencies and political subdivisions to comply with this ban, with existing agreements not being renewed if they conflict with the law. The prohibition applies to foreign governments designated by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce as having engaged in conduct significantly adverse to U.S. national security.
