Anti-boycott

From Palestinian Rights to Environmental Sustainability to Gun Safety and Beyond

Since 2015, dozens of states have passed laws intending to silence boycotts of Israel. These anti-boycott bills remove the legal protection that has been awarded to boycotts for generations, granting governments the power to condition jobs on political viewpoints. In recent years, legislators have started using these laws as templates for a wider attack on Americans' ability to use boycotts as a means for social and political change — introducing bills that target boycotts of the fossil fuel and firearms industries, boycotts of companies that fail to offer reproductive health care or gender-affirming care, and boycotts of companies that fail to meet workplace diversity and equity criteria.

  • Summary

    Montana's law prohibits the state from entering into a contract with a company unless the company submits a written certification that it does not have any "practice, policy, guidance, or directive that discriminates against a firearm entity or firearm trade association" and will not adopt such a practice for the duration of the contract. The law applies to contracts valued at over $100,000 for companies that have more than 10 employees.
