This bill, the "Local Government Contracting Act," aims to limit the influence of foreign countries, specifically China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria, on local government contracts. It establishes procedures for local governments to ensure that contractors are not controlled by entities linked to these countries and prohibits the awarding of contracts to such entities, particularly those involving personal identifying information. The bill also restricts the use of certain technologies and services from companies linked to foreign countries of concern.
