The proposed bill amends the Management and Budget Act of 1984 by adding Section 264b, which imposes restrictions on state contracts based on political contributions. Specifically, it prohibits state agencies from entering into contracts with entities whose principals have made donations to certain political groups, including candidate committees and party committees, within 18 months prior to the contract signing. Additionally, contracts must include a provision requiring contractors to attest that their principals have not made such contributions during specified timeframes: 18 months before, during, and 18 months after the contract term.

The bill outlines consequences for violations, rendering the contract unenforceable and barring the violator from future contracts for three years. However, it provides exceptions for certain agreements, such as loans, grants, and collective bargaining agreements, and specifies that the restrictions apply only to agreements that take effect or are modified after the bill's effective date. Definitions for key terms, including "principal" and various types of political committees, are also included to clarify the scope of the legislation.
