H.R. 3050 prohibits federal agencies from entering into contracts exceeding $100,000 with companies that boycott Israel, effective January 1, 2026. Companies bidding on federal contracts must certify they are not engaged in a boycott of Israel, and any contract found to involve such a boycott can be terminated after a 30-day notice period. The bill defines boycott activities broadly to include actions intended to limit commercial relations with Israel or entities doing business there, as well as discriminatory actions based on nationality or religion, though it excludes business decisions made for valid, non-discriminatory reasons. The legislation includes standard federal appeals procedures and explicitly states it does not infringe on First Amendment rights or take positions on Israeli-Palestinian final status issues. The bill applies to companies with more than 10 employees, potentially affecting numerous private contractors seeking federal business.
