state contracts; foreign adversary; prohibition

Summary

The bill bars any company domiciled in the People’s Republic of China from bidding on, proposing, or entering contracts with Arizona state agencies, unless no reasonable alternatives exist and a greater threat would result from not purchasing the goods. Vendors must submit a certification that they are not Chinese‑domiciled; false statements trigger a $100,000 civil penalty, contract termination, and a five‑year ban from state contracts. The Department of Public Safety is exempt.
