California Governor signs anti-BDS bill into law
State of California | September 26, 2016
California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a measure that prevents companies that boycott or discriminate against any sovereign country, including Israel, from doing business with the state, JTA reported Sunday.
According to the report, Brown signed Assembly Bill 2844 on Saturday afternoon, days after the California State Assembly voted to send the bill to Brown for approval. An earlier version of the legislation banned the state from making contracts worth over $100,000 with companies boycotting Israel.
