Overview
This bill would prevent New Jersey’s public colleges and universities from receiving state funds if they engage in boycotts or divestment activities targeting businesses associated with Israel. Specifically, institutions would be barred from receiving state operating aid, revenue bonds proceeds, general obligation bond proceeds, or student assistance funds if they boycott or divest from Israel-supporting or Israeli businesses. The bill defines ‘Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions’ and related terms to clarify the scope of the prohibition.
