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 addresses State contracts for the licensing of software designed to operate on commonly available desktop or server hardware, ensuring that such contracts do not impose limitations on the agency's hardware selection.

The legislation aims to enhance the flexibility and autonomy of State agencies in managing their software and hardware resources. By preventing contractual limitations, the bill seeks to promote efficiency and adaptability in the use of technology within State government operations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
