What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits any state agency or other body in state government and any

local governmental unit, including a special purpose district, from adopting a rule,

ordinance, policy, or procedure that involves the state agency or local governmental

unit in a boycott of Israel or a person doing business in Israel or in a territory under

Israeli jurisdiction (prohibited boycott).

The bill also requires contracts for materials, supplies, equipment, and services

between state purchasing agents and nongovernmental entities to include a
