HB 2053 -- RECIPROCAL BOYCOTT COMPACT

SPONSOR: Schwadron

This bill establishes the "Reciprocal Boycott Compact". States may join the compact by passing similar legislation as stated in the bill. If any nonmember state, as defined in the bill, boycotts a member state, as defined in the bill, all member states shall boycott the nonmember state.

Member states engaging in a reciprocal boycott of a nonmember state shall boycott the nonmember state in the same manner as the nonmember state's original boycott.

When a member state becomes aware of a nonmember state's boycott against it, the member state's governor shall notify the governors of the other member states. Each member state's governor shall issue a reciprocal boycott including, but not limited to, issuing executive orders and notifying state officials.

When a nonmember state boycott against a member state ends, the reciprocal member states' boycotts shall end as well.

No member state shall engage in a boycott of another state unless boycotted first.
