How States Can Protect Themselves from the Chinese Tech Threat

Georgia State Rep. Martin Momtahan joins the ALEC 49th Annual Meeting to educate other state lawmakers about China’s strategy to infiltrate state governments through the purchase of risky technology embedded in state level networks. Conference members considered and approved a model policy introduced by Rep. Momtahan to help states restrict the purchase of risky technology in Georgia. The model is based on a bill Rep. Momtahan led in Georgia and Governor Brian Kemp signed into law in May 2022.
