The bill, introduced by Representatives Abdullahi and Rader, seeks to repeal section 9.76 of the Revised Code. This section currently mandates that state contracts include a provision in which the contracting company must declare that it is not boycotting any jurisdiction with which Ohio maintains open trade, specifically mentioning Israel, and that it will not engage in such boycotting during the contract period.

By eliminating this requirement, the bill aims to remove the obligation for companies to make such declarations in state contracts. This change could potentially impact the way Ohio engages in trade and contracts with various jurisdictions, as it would no longer impose restrictions based on a company's stance on boycotting.
