This bill proposes the creation of a new section in the North Dakota Century Code that prohibits state contracts with companies that engage in boycotting activities against critical sectors such as energy, mining, and production agriculture. The bill defines "boycott" as actions taken without ordinary business purpose to penalize or harm companies involved in fossil fuel energy, production agriculture, or the lawful use of firearms, among others. It establishes that a "company" is a for-profit entity with ten or more full-time employees and a value of at least $100,000, excluding sole proprietorships. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of governmental entities in verifying that companies do not engage in boycotting before entering contracts funded by public money.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that governmental entities must obtain written verification from companies that they do not participate in boycotting as defined in the bill and are not listed as ineligible for state investments. However, exceptions are made if the goods or services are not available on commercially reasonable terms or if compliance would conflict with the governmental entity's legal obligations. The provisions of this bill will apply to contracts entered into after its effective date, and existing contracts that violate the new regulations cannot be renewed without the required verification.
