Bill Summary
To repeal section 9.76 of the Revised Code to eliminate a requirement that state contracts include a provision in which the company declares it is not boycotting any jurisdiction with which Ohio can enjoy open trade, including Israel, and will not do so during the contract period.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to repeal section 9.76 of the Ohio Revised Code, which currently requires state contractors to declare that they are not boycotting any jurisdiction with which Ohio can trade openly, including Israel, and will not engage in such boycotts during the contract period. By eliminating this requirement, the bill removes the obligation for companies seeking state contracts to make such a declaration, effectively giving businesses more flexibility in their trade and political stance without potential contractual penalties. The legislation appears to be addressing a previous anti-boycott provision that was likely designed to discourage economic discrimination against certain jurisdictions, particularly in the context of international trade and political relationships.
