Kentucky's law requires the state to create a blacklist of all companies that boycott energy companies and requires state entities to divest from blacklisted companies. The law also prohibits the state from entering into a contract with a company unless the company submits a written certification that it is not currently engaged in a boycott of energy companies and will not engage in a boycott of energy companies for the duration of the contract. The law does not apply to contracts valued at less than $100,000 or to companies that have 10 or fewer employees.

Kentucky's 2019 law prohibits the state from entering into contracts unless the contractor certifies that it is not currently engaged in, and will not engage in, the boycott of a person or entity based in or doing business with a jurisdiction with which the state enjoys open trade. The law does not apply to contracts valued at less than $100,000 or to companies that have five or fewer employees.
