AI Summary
- Prohibits the state of Georgia from entering into contracts valued at $100,000 or more for construction, services, supplies, or information technology unless the company provides written certification that it is not currently engaged in, and will not engage in, a boycott of Israel for the duration of the contract
- Revises the definition of "Boycott of Israel" to cover actions limiting commercial relations with Israel, companies doing business in Israel, companies organized under Israeli law, or companies licensed by Israel — removing the previous reference to "Israeli-controlled territories"
- Redefines "Company" to exclude individuals and sole proprietorships, applying only to organizations, associations, corporations, partnerships, and other business entities that employ more than five persons and exist for the purpose of making profit
- Removes the prior exemption for contracts with a total value of less than $1,000, making the $100,000 threshold the sole determining factor for applicability
- Amends existing Code Section 50-5-85 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, updating Georgia's existing anti-boycott law rather than creating a new statute
