  • 287.135

    for goods or services of $1 million or more → for goods or services of any amount

    This change allows the prohibition against contracting with companies that boycott Israel to apply to all contract amounts, not just those over one million dollars.

  • 287.135

    must contain a provision that allows for the termination of such contract at the option of the awarding body if the company → must contain a provision that allows for the termination of such contract at the option of the awarding body if the company is found to have been placed on the Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel List or is engaged in a boycott of Israel.

    This ensures that contracts entered into or renewed after July 1, 2018, include a termination clause specifically for companies involved in a boycott of Israel.

  • 287.135

    the company must certify that the company is not participating in a boycott of Israel, on the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in Sudan List or the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in the Iran Petroleum Energy Sector List and, or that it does not have business operations in Cuba or Syria. → the company must certify that the company is not participating in a boycott of Israel.

    This amendment mandates a certification of non-participation in the boycott of Israel for all contract amounts, emphasizing compliance before bidding.
