Summary
The bill bars state procurement officers from requiring bidders to certify they are not participating in boycotts of foreign nations, and it forbids contract clauses that impose such certifications. It also orders all state agencies to revise their procurement rules by June 1 2027 to eliminate the 2017 executive order that barred contracts with entities boycotting Israel. The change aims to protect free speech and ensure nondiscriminatory procurement practices.
