Key Points

Starting Jan. 1, 2026, federal agencies could not award contracts over $100,000 to companies with more than 10 employees unless the company certifies it is not boycotting Israel.
Contracts signed after Jan. 1, 2026 would also require the company to agree not to boycott Israel while the contract is in effect.
If an agency learns from a public report or a notice from Congress that a contractor is boycotting Israel, the agency must notify the company and post a public notice on its website.
If the company doesn’t stop the boycott within 30 days after being notified, the agency must terminate the contract (unless the company ends the boycott to the agency’s satisfaction).
Companies could use the existing federal contract appeals process to challenge decisions tied to this rule.
