An Act

to repeal
16.75 (10p) and 20.931;
to amend
16.75 (1) (a) 1. and 781.10
2
(2) (c) 6. of the statutes;
relating to:
repealing certain contracting and other
3
restrictions on state and local government entities concerning prohibited
4
boycotts of Israel.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits any state agency or other body in state government and any local governmental unit, including a special purpose district, from adopting a rule, ordinance, policy, or procedure that involves the state agency or local governmental unit in a boycott of Israel or doing business in Israel or in a territory under Israeli jurisdiction (prohibited boycott). This bill eliminates that prohibition.
Current law also requires contracts for materials, supplies, equipment, and services between state purchasing agents and nongovernmental entities to include a provision that the nongovernmental entity is not currently participating, or will not for the duration of the contract participate, in a prohibited boycott, unless the estimated cost associated with the contract is less than $100,000. The bill eliminates that requirement.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
