Protect Economic Freedom Act

This bill requires colleges receiving federal student aid (Title IV funds) to annually certify they won't engage in "nonexpressive commercial boycotts of Israel" - defined as commercial actions limiting business with Israel or entities there, excluding certain exceptions under existing law. Non-compliant institutions must be publicly listed by the Education Department within 7 business days after July 31 each year, and they lose eligibility for federal aid. The law directly affects any institution participating in federal student aid programs that fails to submit the required certification. It establishes a clear mechanism for tracking compliance through annual certifications and public transparency, without altering other federal aid rules.
