Bill > HR3050

This bill prohibits federal agencies from entering into contracts with companies that engage in a boycott of Israel, effective January 1, 2026. Specifically, companies seeking federal contracts over $100,000 must certify they are not participating in boycotts targeting Israel, Israeli businesses, or entities organized under Israeli law. The bill defines a boycott as actions intended to limit commercial relations with Israel that discriminate based on nationality, national origin, or religion, or lack a valid business reason. Companies found to be engaging in such boycotts will receive a written notice and have 30 days to end the boycott or have their federal contract terminated. The bill includes an appeals process and explicitly states that it does not intend to infringe on First Amendment rights or take a position on final status issues in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The definition of "company" applies to business entities with more than 10 employees, excluding individuals and sole proprietorships. The legislation aims to discourage economic actions that the bill considers discriminatory against Israel.
