Bill Summary
Current law prohibits any state agency or other body in state government and any local governmental unit, including a special purpose district, from adopting a rule, ordinance, policy, or procedure that involves the state agency or local governmental unit in a boycott of Israel or doing business in Israel or in a territory under Israeli jurisdiction (prohibited boycott). This bill eliminates that prohibition. Current law also requires contracts for materials, supplies, equipment, and services between state purchasing agents and nongovernmental entities to include a provision that the nongovernmental entity is not currently participating, or will not for the duration of the contract participate, in a prohibited boycott, unless the estimated cost associated with the contract is less than $100,000. The bill eliminates that requirement.
AI Summary
This bill repeals provisions of current law that prohibit state and local government entities from participating in boycotts against Israel or businesses operating in Israel or its territories, and also removes the requirement for state contracts to include a certification that the contractor is not engaged in such a boycott, unless the contract is for less than $100,000.
