Bill > A06101

This bill establishes the "Not on our dime!: Ending New York funding of Israeli settler violence act", which prohibits not-for-profit corporations from providing unauthorized support of Israeli settlement activities in occupied territories (defined as the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip). The bill defines "unauthorized support" as activities that violate international law, such as unlawfully transferring Israeli civilians into occupied territories, committing acts of violence against protected persons, forcibly transferring or evicting residents, unilaterally acquiring land, or destroying Palestinian property. Under this legislation, not-for-profit corporations engaging in such activities would be acting against public policy and contrary to charitable purposes. The bill empowers the New York State Attorney General to bring civil actions against violators, with potential penalties of at least one million dollars, and creates a private right of action for individuals who have been damaged by such activities. Individuals can seek injunctions and actual damages, and potentially recover attorneys' fees if successful. Additionally, the bill allows for the dissolution of a charitable corporation for violations of these provisions. The law would take effect immediately upon passage.
