Title
A substitute ordinance relating to city purchases of technology products.

Analysis
This ordinance establishes requirements relating to the city’s purchase of technology products to ensure that technology is not purchased which may be a threat to national security. “Suspect technology” is defined as technology identified by the U.S. House of Representatives’ permanent select committee on intelligence, or other federal body or agency, as posing a national security threat.
