Relating to: repealing certain contracting and other restrictions on state and local government entities concerning prohibited boycotts of Israel.

This bill would remove state and local government restrictions on contracting with companies that boycott Israel, allowing public entities to award contracts without regard to such boycotts. It repeals specific statutes that previously prohibited state agencies from doing business with firms engaging in boycotts of Israel and amends procurement rules to eliminate related compliance requirements. The legislation directly affects state and local government purchasing decisions by eliminating legal barriers to contracting with companies involved in boycotts of Israel. This change would align state procurement practices with a more neutral stance on international business relationships, though the bill did not advance in the 2026 legislative session.
