North Hempstead

This Town Board anti-boycott measure prohibits North Hempstead from contracting with “an individual or company identified by the New York State Office of General Services or the Office of the New York State Comptroller as engaging in a boycott of Israel.” New York’s governor signed an anti-boycott executive order (EO 157) in 2016 that called for the creation of this blacklist of entities that engage in political boycotts of Israel following the failure of several legislative efforts targeting boycotts for Palestinian rights at the state level.
