Prohibits State agency from entering into certain State contracts that limit ability of State agency to install or run certain software.
This bill prohibits New Jersey state agencies from signing contracts that restrict their ability to install or run software on their preferred hardware. It specifically applies to contracts for software designed to run on standard desktop or server computers, ensuring agencies can choose their own hardware without vendor-imposed limitations. The law prevents software vendors from including terms that force agencies to use specific computers or systems. This directly affects all state agencies purchasing software licenses funded by public money.
