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

    Florida's 2018 law expands the State's 2016 anti-boycott law. The prior law prohibited public entities from contracting with any company or non-profit that boycotts Israel for contracts exceeding $1 million. HB 545 removed the $1 million threshold. The bill also requires the state to create a blacklist of companies, including sole proprietorships, that boycott Israel and prohibits state pension funds from investing in blacklisted companies.
