Bill > HB5099

This bill aims to clarify that the prohibitions on contracting with companies that boycott Israel, as outlined in the existing law, apply to exempt agencies as well. The key provisions include: (1) defining a "boycott of Israel" as actions intended to economically harm or limit commercial relations with Israel, (2) requiring public entities, including those exempted from certain procurement requirements, to include a written certification that any contractor valued at $100,000 or more is not engaged in a boycott of Israel, and (3) authorizing the Director of the Purchasing Division to promulgate rules to implement these provisions.
