AI Summary
- Raises the minimum contract value threshold for requiring a written certification of non-boycott of Israel from $1,000 to $100,000
- Removes "individual" from the certification requirement, so the anti-boycott certification applies only to companies entering state contracts, not individuals
- Retains the existing requirement that the state shall not enter into contracts related to construction, services, supplies, or information technology without a written certification that the company is not engaged in, and will not engage in, a boycott of Israel during the contract
- Defines "boycott of Israel" as actions intended to limit commercial relations with Israel, Israeli individuals, or companies doing business in Israel or Israeli-controlled territories, when taken in compliance with boycott calls or in a discriminatory manner lacking valid business reasons
- Becomes effective immediately upon the Governor's approval or upon becoming law without such approval
