Michigan HB4237 establishes procedures to limit foreign influence in local government contracting.

Michigan HB4237, known as the "local government contracting act," mandates that units of local government establish security procedures to prevent exploitation by foreign countries of concern. It prohibits these units from awarding, extending, or renewing procurement contracts that provide contractors access to personal identifying information unless the contractor attests they are not a controlled entity. The bill also imposes civil sanctions, including fines and ineligibility for future contracts, for violations.
