This bill prohibits State agencies from entering into contracts that restrict their ability to install or run software applications on hardware of their choice. Specifically, it states that any State contract for the licensing of software designed for general desktop or server hardware cannot impose limitations on the installation or operation of that software by the State agency.
The bill aims to ensure that State agencies maintain flexibility and control over their software usage and hardware choices, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. It is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
