Civil Actions - Nonprofit Organizations - Unauthorized Support of Israeli Settlement Activity (Not On Our Dime Act)

HB 1184 prohibits Maryland-registered 501(c)(3)/(4) nonprofit organizations from knowingly providing support for certain Israeli settlement activities banned under the Geneva Conventions. It specifically targets actions like unlawful civilian transfers into occupied territories, violence against protected persons, destruction of Palestinian property (including homes and farms), and forced evictions. The law allows the Maryland Attorney General or affected individuals to sue violators for at least $1 million in damages and requires the Secretary of State to remove offending nonprofits from charitable solicitation registries. This directly affects nonprofits operating in Maryland that receive charitable donations and engage in activities deemed unlawful under international law.
