critical infrastructure; foreign adversaries; prohibition

Summary

It would prohibit any software used in state‑owned or regulated critical infrastructure if it is produced by a Chinese company, and create an annual list of other prohibited technologies such as Chinese‑made routers, cameras, smart meters and IoT modules. Government agencies and critical‑infrastructure providers must certify each year that no new prohibited technology is attached, report the locations of existing prohibited equipment, and are barred from contracts that give Chinese firms access to the infrastructure, except in narrowly defined, pre‑approved situations. The Arizona Corporation Commission would be tasked with publishing the prohibited‑technology list, mapping equipment locations, and establishing a secure emergency communications channel.
