Iowa's 2016 law requires the state to create a blacklist of businesses or business entities that are publicly traded, based out of the US, and boycott Israel or territories controlled by Israel. The law prohibits Iowa from contracting with or investing in blacklisted entities and makes it illegal for a public entity in the state of Iowa to invest or enter into a contract worth over $1,000 with a company that boycotts Israel.

Iowa's law would require the state to create a blacklist of all companies that boycott against the firearms, fossil fuels, mining, agriculture, or timber industries. The law would prohibit blacklisted companies from receiving public contracts.

Iowa's law would prohibit the state from entering into a contract with a company unless the company submits a written certification that it: does not engage in any boycott of the firearms, fossil fuels, mining, agriculture, or timber industry; and does not engage in any boycott of a company due to its failure to provide abortion care or gender affirmation surgery, or due to failure to meet workplace diversity standards. The law would not apply to contracts valued at less than $1,000 or to companies that have 10 or fewer employees.

Iowa's 2022 law ammends the state's existing anti-boycott legislation to explicitly include parent companies and affiliates of companies boycotting Israel, including entites based outside the US. The ammendment is intended to target Unilever, the parent company of ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's, which recently announced it will stop sales in the occupied West Bank.
