AI Summary
This bill, the "Stop ESG-Eliminate economic boycott act," aims to prohibit the state of Wyoming from entering into contracts with companies that engage in "economic boycotts" against certain industries, including fossil fuel production, agriculture, timber, mining, firearms, and companies that do not meet environmental or diversity standards. The bill defines an "economic boycott" as refusing to deal with or terminating business activities with a company without an ordinary business purpose. The bill requires companies contracting with the state to certify that they do not engage in such boycotts and will not do so during the contract term. The bill also provides remedies, including damages, for violations and authorizes the state attorney general to investigate and enforce the act.
