This anti-boycott law prohibits state contracts with and state investment in entities, including sole proprietorships, that boycott Israel or territories occupied by Israel. The law creates a blacklist of restricted companies and prohibits the state from investing in or entering into contracts worth over $1,000 with companies on the blacklist. Entities can be removed from the blacklist if they provide a written certification that they will not reengage in a boycott of Israel for the duration of any business with the state. The law excludes boycotts that have an economic impact of less than $20 million per year. Related bill: SB 329.
