What This Bill Does
This bill repeals Title 63G, Chapter 27, Public Contract Boycott Restrictions.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- repeals provisions that prohibit a public entity from entering into a contract with a company based on the company's participation in a boycott of the State of Israel or an economic boycott;
- repeals definitions and requirements related to boycott actions, economic boycotts, and related contracting certifications;
- repeals contract-certification, notice, and termination provisions applicable to public entities and contractors; and
- repeals provisions prohibiting interference with state programs or commercial relationships related to boycott-based contracting restrictions.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current Utah law, government agencies are prohibited from signing contracts with companies that participate in a boycott of Israel or engage in certain other economic boycotts, and companies must certify compliance with these rules as a condition of doing business with the state. This bill eliminates that entire chapter of law, removing the boycott-related contracting restrictions, certification requirements, and penalties for noncompliance.
